Title
Decision by Giovanni Da Napoli, Rome, 1646-03-21
Subject
Franciscans
Retirement missionaries
Barbary (unspecified or several locations)
Description
Giovanni da Napoli, superior of the Franciscan Order, approves the request of the Recollect Hyacinth Guérin (a missionary on the Barbary Coast), who asked that a house for missionaries be opened in Lisbon. PF notes indicate that Cardinal Este has heard the general of the Minor Observants say that such a house is not necessary, because his order already has a convent in that city, where the missionaries may be received. PF decides nothing.
