The Second Session of the Council began in the Autumn of 1963 and by 8 November 1963 when “"On Ecumenism"”, including its fourth chapter ""On the Attitude of Catholics Toward Non-Christians and Especially Toward Jews"" and fifth chapter “"On Religious Liberty"” was distributed to the Council Fathers, the liberals were confident, having gained in other areas of the Second Session. Elements in the Roman Curia, concerned that the chapters included heresy, approached Paul VI in private with severe concerns, accusing the Collegialists of setting up Bea as a "de facto" “Second Pope”. A document was also published, ""The Jews and the Council in the Light of Scripture and Tradition"", arguing that the chapters were heretical. In addition to this, Paul VI was due to visit the Holy Places in East Jerusalem (then held by the Kingdom of Jordan) on 4 January 1964, whereby he would be meeting with Orthodox Patriarch Athenagoras I of Constantinople, with the ecumenical goal of mending the schism between Catholicism and Orthodoxy. Members of the Curia thus argued that approving the controversial chapter on the Jews would jeopardize this effort and leave the 400,000 Orthodox Christians in the Arab world (including many Palestinian Christians) almost certain to oppose any sort of reunification with Rome. The 1st to 3rd "schemas" should be put up to consideration and then at some later date (only two weeks of the Second Session remained) the 4th and 5th schemas should be looked at again. The stalling tactic worked and when the Second Session closed without the issue being voted on, Moderator, Cardinal Gregorio Pietro Agagianian was non-commital on a future review of the chapters.
