Description
An account of the resource
Report from the Scottish mission, with the names of the missionaries and a short description of their activities: Giovanni Smitteo [John Smith] studied in Rome and Paris, and is working near the border between Scotland and England. Guglielmo Bannatino [William Ballantyne] who converted in France and studied in Paris and Rome, is living in Aberdeen where most Catholics live, but he travels a lot. Giacomo Crittonio [James Crichton] studied in Rome and Paris, and is working in the west of Scotland where his family lives. Giouannj Valchero [John Walker] studied in Rome and was converted by Ballantyne there. Ballantyne invited him to join the Scottish mission. Giouannj Brusio [John Bruce] studied in Rome and worked as a chaplain to a Scottish regiment in France. He is about to go to Scotland and is awaiting the requested faculties. Tomaso Lumisdeno [Thomas Lumsden] was converted in France and ordained in Rome. Like Walker he is awaiting his faculties so he can go on the Scottish mission. [Roberto Barclaio] Robert Barclay is the procurator of this mission in Paris.
Additional comments
Although this report is undated, it must have been written after 1650, when Ballentyne was back in Scotland after his journey to France, and before August 1653, when Lumsden was already in Scotland.

Description
An account of the resource
Summary of reports from the years 1652-1655 by Francis White, Thomas Lumsden and Dermot Duiguin to Vincent de Paul (translated from French to Italian). The summary principally reports the work of Duiguin and White in the Hebrides; they state in the report that ignorance among the residents is enormous, but the people seem very eager to learn. They also note that great miracles are said to happen by the use of sacred water. The reports state that the region cannot be ministered by only two priests, as both the distances between the islands and the number of people are too big; more missionaries are therefore requested. The reports also note that on the last day of February 1655, Francis White (who was staying at the house of Marchioness of Huntly), got taken prisoner, and is now in Edinburgh.

Description
An account of the resource
Summary of the main requests drawn from a long report on the spiritual state of Scotland: a) the first request regards a provision for CM priest Francis White [written ‘Bianchi’]; b) the second request asks that the kings of France and Spain support the Catholics; c) the third request states that those priests who have just come out of colleges, should work for two or three years in France (among CM priests or in a retirement house for old missionaries), before going to the Scottish mission; d) the fourth request suggests that it would be useful if the missionaries acquired a particular skill, such as painter or watchmaker, so that they could enter the houses of Catholics without suspicion; e) the fifth request concerns a house where missionaries could retire in their old age or to which they could flee in times of danger; all kind of details on the location and how it could be financially supported are included in the summary; f) the six request states that there should be a financial contribution from PF for the sending of letters. PF wants to regularly receive letters but, as the prefect has written previously, this is very expensive; and g) the seventh request is regarding a teacher who should have left for the mission, a certain Fontana, but he refused because PF refused to give him missionary faculties. Now they propose [Alexander] Macalister instead; the school, they say, could be started in ‘Glengau’ [Glen Coe?] where the lord and most people are Catholic. A note states that the original writings will not be attached because it is a very big bundle. The decisions made by the PF meeting of 4 February 1664 regarding these requests are on f. 47v.

Description
An account of the resource
Letter from PF to the father general of the Jesuits. As PF wants the children of Scottish Catholics to be instructed in piety and discipline by Catholic schoolmasters, they keep a school in the mountains, and intend to find another one. Because these people are so inclined to the Catholic Faith, they deem it right that the children do not go the the schools of the heretics, where they learn false doctrines. After the Grammatica the children do not move to highter subjects. Due to the current the situation for Catholics in Scotland, the children become ignorant and consequently, do not develop in way that one had hoped for. In order to fix this, PF propose that the Jesuit's who live in Scotland, elect the best students to send to the colleges in Paris, Madrid, Douai and Leuven. They should not limit themselves to those from the Lowlands, where there is little hope of conversion because of the persecution of priests. In the mountains one does not run the same risk but enjoys a great tranquility instead. PF wants the superior of the Jesuits to instruct the Jesuits to elect the right students.

Description
An account of the resource
Summary of the state of Scotland including many suggestions from the procurator of the Scottish mission, William Lesley. The summary states: a) there is need of missionaries for the Highlands and the Hebrides who are able to speak Gaelic. The brother [John White] of the missionary working there, Francis White is proposed. PF should ask the superior of CM [René Alméras] to let him go there, and should also write to the archbishop of Armagh who is now in Paris, asking him to search for other priests, as he has done so before. The procurator suggests that the nuncio [Carlo Roberti de’ Vittori] be written to, to ask for information from the rector of the Scottish College, and from [Patrizio] Cuneo, about the suitability of the candidates; b) there is need of another schoolteacher since the one who is teaching now in the Hebrides is not Catholic. The second teacher, who is Catholic, first taught on the island Skye but was expelled when the ministers found out that he was Catholic; he now teaches at the house of the Count of Glengarry; c) the prefect of the Scottish mission [Alexander Winster] has 90 scudi, which is part of the money that PF had assigned to the schoolteacher, who did not accept everything; the prefect asks PF what to do with it; d) the missionaries ask for books, which are too expensive for the schoolteacher and the ordinary people to purchase themselves; e) the procurator suggests that PF write a letter of recommendation on behalf of the missionaries to the powerful Catholic Huntly family; f) the missionaries ask for a place to live in Edinburgh; g) they suggest writing to the superiors of the religious orders active in Scotland, that their members be obliged to show their missionary licenses to PF missionaries when requested to do so, in order for local Catholics to be sure that they do not receive the sacraments from priests without authority. These issues were discussed at the PF meeting on 9 November 1665. PF notes on f. 231v indicate that the cardinals have decided the following: 1) the nuncio to France should ask the superior of CM [René Alméras] that he allow [John] White to go help the Catholics in his country; 2) the archbishop of Armagh [Edmund O’Reilly] should be asked to search for other priests who understand Gaelic, and could be sent to the Highlands and Hebrides, and to propose them to the nuncio, who will in turn refer these names to PF; 3) another teacher should be appointed for the islands, who will receive the same yearly subsidy as Eugenio Macalastro [Alexander Macalister]; 4) the Jesuit superior general be told that the Jesuits should elect some able young men who could study in the Scottish colleges, and also amongst those who already live in the Highlands. The different Scottish colleges should also be visited by the various nuncios, and the latter should refer their findings to PF; 5) the prefect of the mission [in Scotland] should be written to, stating that the 90 scudi is to be spent for the current provision of the missionaries and the teacher; 6) the procurator has to mention which books he thinks would be useful, so that PF can provide for them; 7) a letter of recommendation should be written as suggested by the procurator; its noted that the cardinals decided nothing with respect to the house that the missionaries asked for; 8) lastly, they decided that the superiors of different orders should forbid the members of their orders to enter Scotland, without a decree from PF.

Description
An account of the resource
Summary of the mission reports from the Scottish missionaries. It is a general report about the ongoing problems of the Scottish mission and the steps already taken by PF. The main issue is the chronic lack of priests, and although PF has done much to find other secular priests for the Highlands, there has been little result. Now they have sent two Irish regular priests and want to send others under the direction of a regular prefect. John White has been asked to go, but he is unwilling and cannot be constrained. In his place Cussak, an Irish priest in Paris, is proposed. Since there will be more regulars in the Highlands, Francis White, who is working there, might start teaching himself. In this way there would be no need to send students from the Highlands to the Continental Colleges. The priests in the Lowlands should be divided better over the different regions, as the regular priests (nine Jesuits, one Dominican and one Franciscan) currently all stay with rich Catholics. Two secular priest are about to be sent to the mission, both called Irvine, one of whom is currently in Poland visiting his sister. Furthermore a few concrete requests are repeated. The summary contains requests of faculties for the prefect (which allow him to consecrate chalices and altars): missionary patents, money for rosaries and other devotional objects, a visitation of the Scottish Colleges and monasteries, the replacement of the rector of the Scottish Colleges, a solution for the house where the missionaries can retreat, and a visitation of the Scottish mission. The decisions made by PF at the meeting of 23 January 1668 are on f. 384v.
Date discussed 1668-01-23

The summary was written no later than 23 January 1668, since that is the date of its discussion.

Description
An account of the resource
PF notes on a petition by Dionisio Kennedie [Kennedy], an Irish Augustinian wishing to go to the mission in the Scottish highlands. The petition notes that Kennedie is asking for the faculties of missionary, including a provision for daily expenses, and transportation expenses for himself and a companion, whom he proposes to find in either Italy or France; nobody has given information on this priest as of yet. In the Highlands there are already secular priests and Jesuits, as well as Bianchi [Francis White], and two Franciscan priests from Ireland. However, if possible, these two missionaries should be sent there as well, because there is a great need for priests.

Relation on the mission of Scotland. There are eight missionaries in Scotland, including Fran'o Blanco [Francis White], Franc' Magdonel [Francis MacDonnell] and Robert Monro; they stay in the mountains in northern Scotland and in The Hebrides. On the island of Bara everyone is Catholic, on Ovist (the biggest island) there are 700 Catholics, and in Cordare and Mordare almost everyone is Catholic. The Catholics are obliged to pay a tax. Eugenio Macalister [Eugene Macalister] has worked in the school for some time. Some time ago Nicolo Dunbar was also sent to the mountains.
Additional comments
Because of the presence of Francis MacDonnel, the composition of the document must be dated after 1668.

Visitation
Description
An account of the resource
PF summary regarding a propsal to visit the Scotish mission, as discussed in a previous PF general meeting. The cardinals gave the task to search for a candidate for the visit, to Barberini who refused to go himself. The procurator of the Scottish mission [William Lesley] proposes that either an Italian priest should be sent, or one of the missionaries should do the visitation; both would be accompanied by a trusted Scot. The procurator himself would be a very good choice since he is well informed on the wishes of PF, as well as on the Scottish mission, but it is unlikely that Cardinal Charles Barberini [Carlo Barberini] would allow him to go. It is also noted that [Alexander] Winster, who has been prefect and is now a normal missionary in Scotland, could do the visitation.
Additional comments
This must be made between 1668 and 1672. In 1668 Alexander Winster stopped being the prefect and became a regular missionary. From 1672 he would take up the prefect authority once again.

Letter from David Burnet to PF. John Walker was the prefect of the mission but he suffered from a stroke. He remained prefect for two more years. But in May 1671 he went to London, as he hoped that the doctors there could help him. During his absence he made David Burnet prefect. Eventually Walker decided to go to France, and eventually to Padua. Alexander Winster works in the province of Aberdeen and Bamfia[?], and one year ago he travelled to Angus and Moray[?]. Fran' Le Blanc [Francis White], Fran' Macdonald [Francis MacDonell] and Rob' Monro [Robert Monro] work in the mountains of Scotland. Alexander Irvin works in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh. Gilbert Gray is useless for the mission and Burnet asks PF to recall him. Alexander Burnet came a year ago from the Scottish College in Rome without faculties, and he has been doing nothing ever since.

Letter from Federico Baldeschi, secretary of PF. Two letters have been presented to the procurator of the mission of Scotland from Valchero [John Walker], who had been prefect of the Scottish mission. He had worked for this mission for 22 years, and eventually fell so badly ill, that it was necessary to travel to Padua. Because he spent all his money for his treatment he has nothing left, hence why he asks to continue his payment as missionary. The secretary of PF [Federico Baldeschi] states that he has always done good work for the mission; there was also a letter of recommendation from Barbarigo [Francesco Barberini]. PF decides to give Walker 55 scudi.

Description
An account of the resource
Anonymous notes on a series of questions: a) whether it is allowed for a priest to marry a Catholic with a heretic to prevent fornication, considering the two have already been married by a heretic priest and share a house and bed. When there is a difference in religion usually missionaries are not allowed to marry the couple. Therefore no dispensation is given. Besides, the fact that there are many heretics living in the same place under a ruler of a different religion does not change the practice in Germany, England, and Scotland; b) it is not forbidden for Catholics to let a heretic priest collaborate in a wedding. If there is a risk of persecution they are allowed to be married in this manner, to prevent a scandal; c) the Catholic priest is not requested to write a testimony, because this is not necessary for the health of the marriage, and thus he should not risk his life; d) children of married heretics born before the conversion of their parents (who later received dispensation), are legitimate and not irregular; e) heretics who accepted the true religion are irregular, as are their children, and both need dispensation; f) there is a special decree from 28 November 1668 that gives dispensation to the studens of the Scottish Colleges; g) a marriage between two Catholics performed by a heretic priest (despite what was said at the council), is valid. Since the bishops have been forced to leave the country, the decree of the Congregation of the Holy Office on the subject of the Christians in Malavari, is to be enforced; h) it is not allowed to let children be baptized by a heretic priest. A PF decree says that it is not a sin; however, such a baptism is not valid when there is the possibility to baptize the children in a Catholic parish; i) children should always be baptized in case they die before reaching maturity; j) the access to heretic schools is very dangerous for boys. That is why, on 5 December 1668, the Congregation of the Holy Office decided that they should not be sent to these schools; k) the appointment of heretics to benefices according to Jus Patronatus is not valid, because heretics are not allowed to hold benefices. However, in order to not lose this right, the appointment of heretics will be tolerated; l) it is not necessary to have the Catholics restore the vestments of the churches. However, it would be a laudable thing to do, as it would restore the hope in the return of Catholicism in Scotland; m) the selling and buying of certain goods to/from non-believers is allowed for Catholics, but only if the purchase involves goods that used to belong to the church, which will be then returned to the church; and n) Catholics do not sin by paying the [heretic] tithe, considering that they are forced to do so.
Additional comments
This document seems to be written by one person, as it uses the first person singular, but it is not known to us by whom.
There are two versions of this document in this CP; the other is to be found on page 203r-206r. Beside some abbreviations, there are not many differences between the two. This version has the title "Super Dubijs," while the title is missing in the other. Other differences include:
- "Parocho" in this version (f. 198r) is rendered in the other version as "Paroco" (f. 202r) or "Parochus" underlined (f. 203r);
- "poenitentes" in this version (f. 198v) is rendered in the other version as "pęnitentes" (202v).

On behalf of the Scottish mission he asks for the following things: a) more Irish Franciscans to be sent to the Highlands; b) that a companion be sent to help Francis White, whether that be his brother John White or a certain Cussak, who is a secular Irish priest who has offered to go; c) that the rectors of the Scottish Colleges be ordered to search for students in the Highlands to teach them, and after ordaining them, send them back to the Highlands as missionaries; d) more schools be founded in the Highlands; e) that the missionaries find able young people who are disposed to become clerics and send them to these schools, and in case they are not able to pay for the schools, that PF or the Scottish Colleges subsidize them; f) that the missionaries and school teachers be sent books and devotional objects; g) that the missionaries be divided over the different provinces by the prefect; h) that all the Scottish who have been ordained ad titulum missionis in the Colleges but have subsequently entered a religious order, be ordered to go to Scotland immediately; i) that all priests write at least once a year to PF; j) that the regular missionaries be equally distributed throughout the country; k) that PF or the pope write a letter (or brief) in which they order the Scottish Catholics to financially support their own missionaries; l) that 13 secular missionaries be sent to each bishopric, plus one prefect and around 30 regular priests; Lesley is willing to go there himself in order to set an example; m) that John Walker be made prefect instead of [Alexander] Winster, who wants to resign; n) that the Scottish Colleges be visited in order to diminish certain bad practices; o) that the rector of the Scottish College in Paris be replaced; p) that likewise the Scottish monasteries in Germany be visited; q) that the faculties of the prefect and of the secular priests in Scotland be renewed, since they are about to expire; r) that these faculties be given to Alessandro Iruino [Alexander Irvin], and that all of them be restricted to certain areas; s) that the prefect of the mission should be ordered to visit all provinces at least once a year, and write letters describing the state of these areas, including their problems and needs; t) that the prefect be given the faculty to consecrate chalices and altar stones, since the current faculty is about to expire; u) that the cardinals have changed their minds regarding the location of a house where missionaries can retire, because if they were to find it in Dieppe as they currently intend to, the missionaries would have to retire in a land where they would be strangers; v) that the missionaries in the Highlands be given some chalices and vestments; w) that often students of the Scottish Colleges are ordained without dispensation, but they need a dispensation because they are former heretics or sons of heretics; x) that the Scottish mission be visited, and that the visitor may have ample faculties and instructions; y) that PF give the mission a bishop with the title of vicar apostolic, as has been done in Holland; and z) that the Duchess of Aiguillon be asked to approach her uncle, Cardinal Richelieu, to establish a nunnery in Scotland. The petition is undated.
Additional comments
The petition must be dated before the end of 1668 because that is when Alexander Winster stopped being the prefect of the mission (or at least till 1672, when Walker went to Italy for medical attention). Alexander Irvin also arrived there in March 1668.

An account of the resource
Letter from Guglielmo Lesleo [William Lesley]. While walking with a cardinal in the garden of the grand duchess named Miralfiore, he saw beautiful Amaranth flowers of which he sends a few seeds with this letter. He reccomends Gio' Iruino [John Irvin, probably the one from Hilton] of whom V.S. already received information from Don Gioseppe. Since Lesley is so far from Rome, he cannot be as involved in the mission of Scotland as he would like to be; but this priest could replace him perfectly. Whilst Irvin is very informed about the mission, he does not know everything about the working style, but he could learn this very quickly. He asks to trust Irvin in the buisiness of the mission, and gives permission to Don Gioseppe to show him the decrees and information about Scotland, so that he will be fully informed. He himself only stayed in Rome for such a long period, as the mission needed a procurator. Now Irvin has arrived in Rome, his presensce is no longer necessary. Lesley now asks to be sent away as a missionary to Scotland, or anywhere else where he would be considered useful.

Letter from William Ballantyne to Mario Alberizzi, PF secretary. He writes regarding his arrival in Scotland on 18 May 1661. It is noted that after his arrival, he succeeded in bringing back to the Catholic faith an apostate priest named James Crichton, who died soon afterwards. He tells about the major progresses made by other missionaries, and about the fact that more missionaries are needed. He mentions Francis White (who is in France, and is unlikely to come back if he does not receive an annual provision by PF), together with two others. He furthermore asks for timely payment of the provisions because of their great need of money. The letter signed and dated 29 June 1660.

Copy of a letter from William Ballantyne to the nuncio to France, Celio Piccolomini. Ballantyne writes about the laws recently issued by the Scottish Parliament against Catholics, and about the need of provisions and priests for the Highlands. The French congregation who first supported four Irish priests in this region has ceased to do so for unknown reasons. There are already four candidates: Carlo Horan [Charles Horan?], Francis White and his brother [John White], Giouanni Borgo [John Borough?] and Giouanni Maksuini [John MacSwiney?]. The letter is dated 18 February 1661, and the nuncio probably forwarded the letter to Rome on the 29 April. The letter was read during the PF meeting on 9 May 1661.

An account of the resource
Letter from Vincent de Paul in which he expresses his gratitude towards PF for all the favors shown towards the members of CM in Rome. He asks for missionary faculties for two priests of CM who want to go to the Hebrides. He thinks they are very suited, not only because of their zeal and honesty, but also because they speak Gaelic. If this mission is to be authorized, they will leave immediately. In an attached file to this letter the names of the two Irish missionaries appear: Dermitius Deguin [Dermot Duiguin/Duggan] and Francis White, who both ask for the missionary faculties. The letter signed and dated 9 October 1650.

Both the original Latin text and a French translation have been published in P. Coste, ed., Saint Vincent de Paul: correspondance, entretiens, documents (Paris: 1920-25), vol. 4, doc. 1271. Coste wrongly entitles it "Au cardinal Antoine Barberini": in 1650 Luigi Capponi was prefect of PF.

An account of the resource
Petition on behalf of Vincent de Paul to PF, which asks for missionary faculties for three priests of CM, to help assist Dermot Duiguin, who is working in the Scottish Highlands and the Hebrides. The priests are: Gerard Brin, Thomas Lumsden and John Ennery. The petition is unsigned and undated.
Date discussed [1653-04-01]
Additional comments
Coste dates the petition after 3 May 1652, "car à cette date saint Vincent ignorait encore ce qu'était devenu Gérard Brin, chassé d'Irlande
par la persécution de Cromwel" (cf. P. Coste, ed., Saint Vincent de Paul: correspondance, entretiens, documents (Paris: 1920-25), vol. 1, doc. 1494) and before 29 May 1654, because at that date Thomas Lumsden was already in Scotland (cf. Coste, vol. 1, doc. 1746). However, according to APF SOCG 297, 292r, 295v (database item 300) Lumsden was already there before August 1653. Therefore, the document should be dated between 3 May 1652 and August 1653.

Letter to the nuncio to France, Nicolò Guidi di Bagno. The nuncio is asked to write to PF describing the difficult situation of the Catholic missionaries in Scotland because of persecution, poverty, the absence of protection and scarcity of priests. The author asks that the nuncio ask for an annual pension for six priests who plan to go there, and especially for two of them who are departing immediately: Gulielmo Bannatisno [William Ballantyne], who has been in Scotland and testifies that these matters are true, and Andrea [Andrew] Hay.
