In a past general congregation [convened on 01 dec 1670; see Cal. 1622-1799 II 145], the procurators [Michel Gazil de La Bernardière, William Lesley] of the bishop of Petraea [François de Laval] had requested the expedition of the bulls of erection on the bishopric of Québec. In their new petition [undated, but 00 jan 1671; see Cal. 1622-1799 III 400], they explain that the expenses for the regular expedition of the bulls are so high, that neither the king of France [Louis XIV] nor the bishop [François de Laval] are likely to be willing to pay. Precedents on the bishoprics of Leitmeritz (1655) and Königgratz (1665) are recalled. The petitioners request the benevolent intervention of the Sacred Congregation "de Propaganda Fide." Rescriptum : Verify precedents of the bishoprics of Lima (1541) and Arequipa (1609); enquire with the Dataria Apostolic. REMARKS: Cross-references: Cal. 1622-1799 III 398-402, V 111, VI 006 403.
