Requiem Mass
From the cited source: Upon reaching there, he would celebrate a mass for the departed souls. That is not a "missa pro populo" which is for the living. Missa pro populo (Latin: "Mass for the people") is a term used in liturgical texts and rules of the Catholic Church. It refers to the requirement of all ordained pastors to say Mass for the people of their parish. This is as opposed to a Mass said for a particular person, for the benefit of the celebrant alone, or for the benefit of the dead (see Requiem Mass). This requirement is often linked to the term parochial Mass, referring to the Mass said in the parochial or parish church. Cited source specifically rules out pro populo!

 * You're probably better off pinging the main author, rather than me. The Rambling Man (Stay indoors, stay safe!!!!) 14:45, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Active voice
I am not sure why there was an objection to use of the active voice Chan blessed the statue..." I have scoured the sources (now is the first time I look at them) so don't accuse me of plagiarizing them because the only source that mentions it, uses passive voice. Kind of ironic.

 * Failing to see any irony here. I wasn't accusing you of plagiarism for this sentence.  My edit summary was in reference to you changed the wording to he " supported the Council of Christian Churches" – well, the source says "he was an active supporter of the Council of Christian Churches".  So my point stands. —Bloom6132 (talk) 15:35, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Cancer

 * In spite of his ill health, he attended two out of the four sessions of the Second Vatican Council in 1962 and 1964
 * Cited source: He attended two sessions of the Vatican Council in 1962 and 1964 until he was stricken by cancer
 * I had attempted to remove the phrase to conform better with NPOV but it appears it does not even conform with WP:V. Elizium23 (talk) 14:50, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Did you read the sentence immediately preceding it? There are three different sources cited saying that he had cancer as early as 1963.  So when he was attending the Vatican II session (the 1964 session, at the very least), he most definitely had cancer. —Bloom6132 (talk) 15:28, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
