This would hinder the progress of the heretics, especially in New England. Following a report read before the Sacred Congregation "de Propaganda Fide" on the issue [see Cal. 1622-1799 II 021], a mission of French and English Capuchins was sent, but the attempt does not seem sufficient to the task.

RECIPIENT: [Celio Piccolomini, archbishop of Cesarea, Nuncio in France]. TYPE OF DOCUMENT: Copy DESCRIPTION: Questions and answers on the state of religion in Canada, in view of the erection of a bishopric. Since the foundation of the colony 24 years earlier before [probably a reference to 1632], 20,000 [natives] have been baptized or converted. As for the missionaries, there are already 28/30 Jesuits, 8/10 Capuchins, 3/4 secular priests, for some 3,000 French Catholics and a great number of barbarous inhabitants. The land is very rich and plentiful. The future bishop will reside in the well-fortified town of Québec; Charles Lalemant is a candidate for the position. Ships leave France every year from Dieppe, La Rochelle, and Nantes. Reference to the Jesuit relations and "letters of 1651." REMARKS: In 1657 there were 28 Jesuits in Canada, priests and lay brothers included, and four secular priests. Two Capuchins were possibly in Acadia.

Not only had this been approved by Chigi [Flavio Chigi] when he was ambassador extraordinary in France, but it had often been recommended by the pope [Clement IX] and to the Sacred Congregation "de Propaganda Fide." The addressee is requested to consider the following points: [1] a prefect must be appointed for the French missions of America; [2] he must be persona grata to the French ministers; [3] he must be loyal to the Holy See; [4] the nuncio in France [Pietro Bargellini] favours the appointment of Gazil [Michel Gazil de La Bernardière]. The addressee's opinion must be received by 6:00pm, in time for the writer's audience with the pope [Clement IX] that is scheduled for 8:00pm.

Some ecclesiastics had been in Rome in 1657 and had asked to be sent to mission territories. The pope, Alexander VII, had forwarded their petition to the Sacred Congregation "de Propaganda Fide." The latter appointed three vicars apostolic for China: Ignace Cotolendi [vicar apostolic in Nankin], Pierre Lambert de La Motte [vicar apostolic in Cochinchina], and François Pallu [vicar apostolic in the Tonkin]. The Séminaire des Missions-Étrangères was eventually founded and approved by the king [Louis XIV, king of France] and by the Parlement de Paris [letters patent registered in Paris on 07 sep 1663; see items 1-2 of Cal. 1622-1799 III 386], and by the abbé de Saint-Germain [Henri de Bourbon, in his letter dated 10 oct 1663; see item 3 of Cal. 1622-1799 III 386]. It was then then recognized by Chigi [Flavio Chigi], then envoy in Paris, in 1666 [i.e., on 10 aug 1666; see item 4 of Cal. 1622-1799 III 386]. The Séminaire des Missions-Étrangères was then recommended [by the Sacred Congregation "de Propaganda Fide"] to cardinal Roberti [Carlo Vittori Roberti], then nuncio in France, through a letter dated 21 aug 1666 [see Cal. 1622-1799 III 384], and a papal brief dated 03 dec 1667 [see Cal. 1622-1799 III 383] addressed to the king of France [Louis XIV].

In fact, bishops do not grant their dimissory letters easily, yet priests are much needed in such a vast large country [Canada] (1,200 leagues), where no more than two natives per year can be ordained.

Now the bishop of Québec [Pierre-Herman Dosquet] is in France, and is about to leave for America. The latter asks [see Cal. 1622-1799 III 509] to be enabled to ordain 20 individuals. His diocese [Québec] is very large (1,200 leagues, from the Northern Sea to the Gulf of California, from New Mexico to New England), yet it is impossible to ordain more than two natives a year. On account of the fact that French individuals always arrive without dimissory letters, the nuncio
