Minutes of PF general meeting of 5 March 1652, held in the presence of pope Innocent X. Discussed among other issues, is the decree that PF issued on 9 February 1652 regarding the bishopric of Babylon. The bishop, who should have gone to his bishopric did not do so on account of being ill, however, he keeps changing his nomination for the candidate he wants to appoint as his coadjutor. Therefore PF has decided that he must either go to his residence (in Babylon), or renounce his see. The pope approves the decree and adds that the bishop cannot exercise his duties in another diocese.

Minutes of PF general meeting of 27 May 1652 discussing among other issues, a petition on behalf of Father Michele Dello Spirito Santo [Michel Du Saint-Esprit]. He asks PF to approve his appointment to coadjutor of the bishopric of Babylon, as requested by the bishop himself. The cardinals decide not to answer this request, as during the meeting of 5 March (which was held in the presence of the pope), they decreed that the bishop of Babylon should either go and reside in his own diocese or resign.

Minutes of PF general meeting of 23 February 1654 discussing among other issues, a petition presented to the pope, regarding the Church of Babylon; the pope forwarded the petition to PF.

They also request that a report is presented in a general meeting of PF, in order for the cardinals to decide an answer to the orginal petition.

Minutes of PF general meeting of 30 June 1659 discussing among other issues, the salary that should be assigned to the newly appointed coadjutor of the bishopric of Babylon, Placido de Chemin. The cardinals decided to ask the nuncio to France to find out from the bishop of Babylon how much he can offer. The nuncio should also find out what living quarters and furnishings the bishop has [in Babylon], and whether he had paid for them himself, as he claims. Lastly it should be remembered that PF had set the maximum [of the salary] at 300 scudi.
