Petitions for missionary patents

Petitions for faculties

Petition on behalf of Vincent de Paul. He asks that, since a ship will depart for Madagascar in the spring, would PF grant missionary faculties to two Vincentians: Claude Dufour and François Mousnier. He also ask that other priests of CM (which he did not choose as of yet), may receive the same faculties. In that case, he suggests the nuncio judge whether they are suitable or not for the mission.

Additional comments

Date based on the years that Dufour was proposed for the Madagascar mission, which was in 1550. This date is unknown for Mousnier. It might be some years later though, as Dufour went to Madagascar in 1656 and Mousnier in 1654.
