Petition on behalf of CM Superior Vincent de Paul to pope [Alexander VII], [1655-1660]

CM petitions

Petition on behalf of Vincent de Paul to the pope [Alexander VII], asking to extend to the whole of CM, the faculties that were orginally granted to the house in Rome (in regards to the absolution of reserved cases). PF notes on f. 282v indicate the following: Cardinal Datario states that the pope wants such favors to be given with the agreement of PF.

Additional comments

Although the petition is undated, it must have been written between 1655 (the beginning of Alexander's papacy) and 1660 (the year when Vincent de Paul died), since it refers back to decisions taken by Innocent X, Alexander's immediate predecessor.
