THE 1987 MIXED GENERAL MEETING
When the Capitulants left Rome, on December 18th. 1987, or the following days, all were tired, many had a cold, and the last voting session, lasting well past 10.00 P.M. on the 17th, had sounded a sad final note with its first instance of discordant votes by the two Chapters on an important matter.It was to be expected, therefore, that the first reflections given to our communities after the Chapter would not be enthusiastic, and perhaps not too positive.After more than two months, it might be easier to give a dispassionate assessment of what was achieved and what was left to be desired at that historical meeting.
