| description | This archival document is a formal diplomatic correspondence dated May 1802, originating from Lisbon and addressed to an unnamed ecclesiastical authority—likely the Cardinal Prefect of the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith or a senior Vatican official. Authored by the Viscount of Balsamão, Minister and Secretary for Internal Affairs of Portugal with special responsibility for Ecclesiastical Affairs, the letter concerns the resignation of the Bishop of Macau and the absence of a pension provision for his retirement. It references the involvement of the ‘Xasay’—a term appearing in the contextual heading ‘Orient’ and linked to the ‘Vizho matter’—and cites historical precedent from the pontificate of Pope Paul V (1605–1621) regarding delayed episcopal confirmations due to similar omissions. The document identifies Veselio Zà Renkoy as the correspondent in the ‘Orient’ section, with reference number 26-91 and location Macao; it further notes the satisfaction of Reverend Father Emmanuel of Saint Gualdino and the consolation of the resigning bishop. Situated within Portuguese ecclesiastical administration during the Napoleonic era, the text illuminates colonial-era church governance, financial provisions for retiring prelates, and intergovernmental coordination between Lisbon and the Holy See concerning the Diocese of Macau. Researchers will find this source valuable for studying late-eighteenth- to early-nineteenth-century Catholic missionary infrastructure, Portuguese imperial ecclesiastical policy, and administrative practices in East Asian dioceses under Portuguese patronage.

Regarding the Vizho matter, in which the Xasay were involved.

Dissolved in this manner,
Your Excellency, I beg leave to inform you, and
to report what I have ascertained concerning the matter—namely, that no pension has been assigned to the present Bishop of Macau, who is resigning his see, whereby he might maintain himself decently and withdraw from his episcopal dignity with due honour. Perhaps the haste with which the aforementioned process was drawn up prevented His Eminence Cardinal Pacca from reflecting upon this omission; yet I consider it my duty to bring it to Your Excellency’s attention—not least because I recall having read, during the pontificate of His Holiness Pope Paul V, that the confirmation of another Bishop of Macau had been deferred on account of the failure to assign any pension to his resigning predecessor.
The matter therefore rests upon the generosity and pastoral solicitude of His Highness [the Cardinal Prefect], and upon the consistently just and effective cooperation of Your Excellency’s Ecclesiastical Office.
Hereby, the Reverend Father Emmanuel of Saint Gualdino is satisfied, and the resigning Bishop consoled. Meanwhile, I remain,
with profound respect and humble deference,
Your Excellency’s obedient servant,
Viscount of Balsamão, Minister and Secretary for Internal Affairs,
