| Summary: | This 1844 ecclesiastical document comprises a series of official declarations and certifications concerning jurisdictional authority within the Diocese of Malacca under British governance. Issued by José, Archbishop-Primate of the East, the text asserts his legitimate exercise of ecclesiastical jurisdiction over the diocese, grounded in papal Bulls issued under the authority of Pope Gregory XVI. It explicitly revokes prior directives, including a Brief concerning Nossa Senhora, arguing their invalidity through the issuance of an Encyclical Bull commanding suffragan bishops to recognise the Archbishop-Primate’s metropolitan authority. The document underscores the continuity of Catholic submission to the current Prelate—identified as the Archbishop-Primate—and affirms obedience to the Supreme Head of the Church. A formal letter dated 10 February 1844, addressed to the Catholic Commission of Macau, confirms the author’s role as Governor of the Diocese of Malacca and includes subsequent certifications by civil authorities: Manoel Jorge d’Oliveira Lima of the State Secretariat for Naval and Overseas Affairs, and another from the State Secretariat for Foreign Affairs, both dated 15 April 1844. Central figures include Archbishop-Primate José, Pope Gregory XVI, and Reverend Fathers Bengaletti and Rav., identified as Missionaries of Propaganda Fide directed to withdraw from the bishopric. The primary locations referenced are Malacca, Macau, and Mazagão. This document serves as a critical source for understanding ecclesiastical jurisdiction, colonial religious administration, and church-state relations in Portuguese and British territories in Asia during the mid-19th century.
