CM petitions

France (missions in)

Petition on behalf of Blaise Le Féron on behalf of CM, requesting its confirmation by PF as a mission. Approved by PF in November 1627.

Additional comments

As noted by Coppo, an additional "memoriale" was probably attached to this petition, which detailed the faculties requested for the missionaries ("infrascritte"); the "joined memo" is also noted on 374v. That document is missing. Coppo argues that it is very unlikely that the said "memoriale" was the 1625 founding contract of CM or the act of approval of that contract by the archbishop of Paris. See A. Coppo, 'Documenti inediti per la storia della Congregazione della Missione, presso l'archivio della S. C. 'De Propaganda Fide,'' in Annali della Missione 80:1 (1973), 222-255, here 233. The date and place are taken from the duplicate, see: SOCG 198, 116r, 121v (database item 23).
