| description | This abstract describes a formal colonial ecclesiastical certificate issued on 24 June 1778 at the Palace of Our Lady of the Conception in Goa by Dom Francisco de Assis de Távora, Count of Vilanor, Viceroy of Portuguese India. The document concerns canonical proceedings related to the bishoprics of Nanjing and Beijing—designated as successor sees, with Beijing succeeding Nanjing—and addresses the validity of actions taken against their respective bishops. It authorises the Roman Curia to ordain priests absent from their dioceses on grounds of native status, affirming the Curia’s competence to initiate and oversee requisite canonical processes. The Viceroy directs the recipient—addressed as “Your Excellency”—to ensure these processes are completed locally and submitted to him, together with formal letters of presentation (Apresentações), for onward transmission to the Holy Father. Emphasis is placed on the urgent issuance of papal bulls (Bullas) and certificates of fitness (ciências) for both bishoprics, to be processed with the same expedition granted to their immediate predecessors. The document further mandates the transmission of three certified copies (transumptos), each accompanied by two duplicate certified copies, of all relevant documents—including the letters of presentation—to the Secretariat of State (Secretaria dos Negócios do Reino). This certificate serves as a key administrative and canonical instrument reflecting Portuguese imperial ecclesiastical governance in Asia during the late eighteenth century. Doc. 21 |

Copies of these documents are held in this Curia,
for transmission to the Bishopric of Peking,
successor to the Bishopric of Nanking;
and thus priests may be ordained at this Roman Curia,
by virtue of their absence from their dioceses and on account of their native status—
a matter well known to this Roman Curia,
which is therefore competent to initiate and promote the requisite canonical processes.
Your Excellency is accordingly requested to ensure that such processes are duly undertaken there and delivered to you,
so that you may present them—accompanied by the formal letters of presentation (Apresentações)—to the Holy Father.
Given the significance of these canonical processes, papal bulls (Bullas), and certificates of fitness (ciências) pertaining to both bishoprics, Your Excellency is directed to issue the necessary instructions; these will be executed promptly and within the prescribed canonical timeframes. Furthermore, Your Excellency shall transmit to the Secretariat of State (Secretaria dos Negócios do Reino) three certified copies (transumptos), each accompanied by two duplicate certified copies, of the aforementioned documents—including the letters of presentation—issued under this jurisdiction.
I need not remind Your Excellency of the urgency attaching to the issuance of the pontifical bulls in favour of these two bishops, since they ought rightly to be granted with the same expedition as those conferred upon their immediate predecessors.
May God preserve Your Excellency.
