The Easter People was a liberal policy document of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales. Background The ultimate inspiration for the work which gave rise to the document was the Second Vatican Council . The immediate occasion was a National Pastoral Congress of 2,000 men and women convoked by Archbishop Derek Worlock in Liverpool in 1980 to discuss a variety of potentially difficult issues. Work of the Congress Seven reports were prepared by committees and then approved in plenary session, covering issues from the admission of divorced or remarried Catholics to the sacraments, to the admission of non Catholics to communion, to artificial birth control, to social justice, to the ordination of women. These reports generally adopted a decisively liberal position. The seven reports were drawn together by a drafting committee chaired by Archbishop Worlock, and the result was published in 1980 under the title The Easter People . Results Reception of The Easter People was overwhelmed by the decision by Pope John Paul II at about the same time to make the first ever papal visit to Britain. Combined with the Pope s own conservative policies, this ensured that The Easter People had only a very muted impact.

The cave is 185 metres long and may be visited during the summer months. It was first mentioned in the records around 1630. The present entrance was artificially created in 1905 in order to open it as a show cave for visitors. The Easter Cave is one of the last caves in Germany to be lit with carbide lamp s. Relatively high concentrations of manganese were found on the walls. The origin of the German name, Osterh hle , is not entirely clear, but it probably comes from the location of the cave on the Osterberg, a hill whose name in turn may possibly be connected with the German goddess of dawn, Ostara .
