description This 1842 official correspondence, originating from Macau and addressed to the Portuguese Minister and Secretary of State for Naval and Overseas Affairs, documents a dispute concerning ecclesiastical jurisdiction and colonial authority in the context of Portuguese Catholic administration in East Asia. The letter, signed by Father Conceição Franco and countersigned by Pedro de Carvalho, references the presence of Rigua, a Procurator of the Sacred Congregation of Propaganda Fide, who resided in Macau under orders from the Apostolic Prefecture of Hong Kong—dependent on the Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith—and allegedly operated beyond his authorised mandate. The text asserts that Rigua’s activities contravened prior reports submitted to the Holy See and conflicted with the papal Bull *Sub Romana Militantis Ecclesia* (interpreted as issued by Pope Gregory XIII in 1586), which defined ecclesiastical boundaries and jurisdictions. In response, the author claims to have expelled the Procurator and his associates from the establishment within three days to protect the rights of the Vice-Prefecture. The document further expresses reluctance to engage the British Governor of Hong Kong, then serving as Plenipotentiary, due to lack of governmental authorisation. It also alludes to an unauthorised decree of 22 April 1851 (anachronistic within the 1842 dating) obtained under false pretences, suggesting later interpolation or transcription error. The communication underscores tensions between local ecclesiastical powers, colonial governance, and Roman centralisation efforts in mid-19th century Portuguese Asia.
