| description | This abstract describes a formal ecclesiastical letter dated 2 February 1745, issued in Rome by Cardinal Pietro Passionei and Secretary Nicolaus Lercarius on behalf of the Sacred Congregation, addressed to the Bishop of Peking. The document transmits papal briefs conveying Apostolic counsel concerning the recipient’s consecration and pastoral responsibilities following his receipt of the episcopal mandate in Macao. It emphasises the spiritual welfare of the Catholic flock in Peking and the broader expansion of the Catholic faith in ‘these distant regions’, underscoring expectations of virtue, fidelity, obedience, and zealous implementation of the Supreme Pontiff’s directives. Marginalia indicate cross-references to folio 145 and identify the archival location as the Oriental Section, shelfmark m.1, document no. 9, with the text appearing on folio 544 verso and page 94; a circular stamp and additional marginal notes are present but not legible or elaborated upon in the source text. The letter reflects institutional communication within the eighteenth-century Catholic missionary apparatus operating across East Asia, specifically linking Rome, Macao, and Peking. Researchers will find this document valuable for studying papal governance, Sino-European ecclesiastical relations, and the administrative mechanisms underpinning Catholic mission activity in Qing China during the mid-eighteenth century.

Most Illustrious and Right Reverend Lord and Brother,
With what profound joy our Most Holy Lord learned from your letter—and from the testimonies appended thereto—that you have duly received in Macao the mandate to undertake the sacred office of consecration as Bishop of Peking; and with what equal expression of Apostolic charity towards you and towards the flock entrusted to your pastoral governance He wishes to admonish you concerning certain matters—indeed weighty ones—which, through your vigorous and diligent efforts, are essential not only for the fuller spiritual welfare of your flock, but also for the expansion of the Catholic faith across these distant regions: this much is made abundantly clear to you in the accompanying brief letters of His Holiness.
We therefore, obedient—as is fitting—to the mandates of the Supreme Pontiff, transmit to you herewith those same letters, fortified by a firm hope that, by humbly receiving the salutary counsels of His Holiness, and by promptly and zealously conforming your conduct to His expressed will, you will amply—and in concrete reality—confirm the most affectionate Father’s already high estimation of your virtue, fidelity, and obedience, an estimation which this Sacred Congregation likewise holds in strong and unanimous accord.
And to you, most beloved Brother.
