Description
Summary:This abstract describes a fragmentary ecclesiastical administrative document dated 19 December 1804 (with supplementary notation of 19 March 1804), originating from the Roman Curia and transmitted through the Eastern Secretariat and the Secretariat for Oriental Affairs, with provenance linking Macau, Goa, and Rome. The document records the papal appointment of Dom Frei Hilário de São Rosa—a Lisbon-born Franciscan friar of the Strict Observance, Doctor of Sacred Theology, and professed Catholic—to the vacant Bishopric of Macau following the translation of Bishop Prequeiros (also rendered as Inqueiros or Iriqueiros) to Goa. It details the canonical procedures governing his episcopal provision, including papal bulls (Bullarium Romanum no. 939), an indult permitting consecration in the Indies by a single bishop assisted by two dignitaries, and mandates derived from the Council of Trent concerning the establishment of a theological college, penitentiary office, seminary, Mount of Piety, and episcopal residence. The text further specifies financial provisions (130 florins for the see; 600 soldi for the chapter from the Regio Erarium), institutional infrastructure in Macau (cathedral, three parishes, four male religious houses), and obligations regarding the oath of office—particularly referencing Pope Clement XI’s 1715 constitution *Ex quo singulari* on the Chinese rites. The document bears the Seal of the Fisherman’s Ring and is signed by Cardinal A. Lay.
