Minutes of PF general meeting of 11 September 1679 discussing among other issues; a) the disagreements between Jean Le Vacher, vicar apostolic in Algiers, and the Trinitarians who work in the five hospitals of the city; and b) a report by Jean Le Vacher on the state of his mission. The cardinals decide on several matters in response: 1) that Jean Le Vacher must be written to about the issue of whether the Trinitarians can keep the Holy sacrament in their hospitals, as they request; 2) that the heretics should indeed be kept separate from Catholics in hospitals, as requested by the Trinitarians; 3) that Jean Le Vacher should be told not to mingle in matters that are not part of his office, such as the coats of arms which the Trinitarians use to decorate their hospitals, (great resentment was caused, when the coats of arms were previously removed); and 4) that the Neapolitan priests who were recently sent by PF to Algiers should be given faculties.
