Editing Inter mirifica (section)

==Historical background==
While ''Inter mirifica'' was one of the first decrees to reach a conclusion during Vatican II, the document itself went through many drafts, throughout its development. Over 70 drafts of ''Inter mirifica'' were prepared, yet out of all of these drafts, only nine were ready for final approval from the Vatican Council. The first draft ''Schema of a constitution on the Means of Social Communications'', combined with the other six, were made into one volume by July 1962.<ref>Norman P. Tanner, The Church and the World : ''Gaudium et spes'', ''Inter mirifica'' (New York: Paulist Press, 2005), 93.</ref>  This draft document consisted of an Introduction (nos 1–5), doctrines of the Church (6-33), the Apostolate of the Church in the field (34-48), the discipline and the ecclesiastical order  (49-63), the different means of social communication (64-105), other means of Social Communication (106-111) and a conclusion (112-114).<ref>Franz-Josef Eilers, "Church and Social Communication: 40 years of Inter Mirifica and beyond," Ad Veritatem 5 (2005), 1.</ref> Although the discussion on ''Inter mirifica'' lasted for a short period (November 23–27, 1962), the document had a drastic change. The final draft, reduced to a quarter of its original length, which contains an introductory section, two short chapters and a conclusion.<ref>Norman P.
