Petitions for faculties

Petition for permission that CM priests may grant plenary indulgence to those who make general or particular confession, as well as indulgence for ten years to those who listen to their exhortations. The petition also requests that CM members receive the faculty to absolve sins (regardless of how great they are), to cancel or change vows (with the exception of the vows of chastity), to enter a religious order, and to make pilgrimage to Jerusalem and St. Jacob. Permission was also requested to allow CM priests to transmit faculties to their inferiors, or whomever they bring along in their missions.
