We want you, Mr Prodi, to argue for political diversity in the new Commission.
Je ne dirais donc pas que vous vous imposiez d’autres pénitences, qui iraient au-delà de ce qui est requis par la règle ; et je vous recommande en particulier de ne pas le faire sans avoir auparavant consulté celui qui guide votre âme.
So I would not say that you should impose other penances on yourself, in addition to those required by the rule; and this especially you must not do, if you can not first of all see your spiritual director.
