1569 by Cardinal Borromeo, which, like that held in 1565,

bishops was one which had so far been urged both by the
Council and by recent Popes without much effect, namely
the obligation, both of residing in person amid their flocks,

souls. A great step was taken towards this important reform
when Pius V,, by a series of ordinances, made the Eternal
City, the favourite place of refuge, extremely uncomfortable
councils of Lisbon in 1566 and Goa in 1567, the synod of Lima in
1567, that of Syracuse in 1567, Lyons in 1568, and Avignon in
