...stations accessible, and 15 years to make 50% of them accessible. But unlike the Underground, London's buses will all be accessible by next year.

He published a decree effectively requiring national bishops' conferences to get Vatican approval before making statements on doctrine and made episcopal appointments subject to seeming litmus tests on topics like abortion and homosexuality.
