First sentence: The Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith, founded by Pope Gregory XV in 1622 and commonly known as the Propaganda, instructed missionaries of the mid-seventeenth century not to regard it as their task to change the "manners, customs, and uses" of the people they served except where such usages were "evidently contrary to religion and sound morals."
