The two: FATHER ACACIO COUSSA, 64, Pro-Secretary of the Sacred Congregation for the Eastern Church, a Syrian who was consecrated Titular Archbishop of Gerapoli by Pope John last year in precedent-setting Greek rites; and FATHER MICHAEL BROWNE, 74, Master-General of the Dominican Friars, an Irish-born member of the Central Preparatory Commission for the Ecumenical Council...
