Description

Minutes of PF general meeting discussing, among other issues, a letter from Julien Guérin: a) asking for faculty to grant dispensation to marry for a couple formerly converted to the Muslim faith but currently living according to Christian principles; b) what to do about other converts who live like Christians; and c) how to handle slave priests who celebrate mass twice a day "out of avarice, rather than out of necessity." PF decided to forward all three questions to the pope.
