The archbishop's letter is dated Goa, 16 Dec. 1754; the Pope's reply ("Venerabili fratri Antonio Archiepiscopo Goano," p. [7] sqq.) Rome, 19 March 1758; it includes (p. 21-26) a papal decree of same date ("Decretum. Benedictus PP. XIV. Cum venerabilis frater Archiepiscopus Goanus Apostolatum nostrum consulendum censuerit ..."); the exchange concerns marriages in areas in which the decrees of the Council of Trent had not been promulgated.
