The earliest objections to the practice were disposed of by an order from Pope Gregory XV., dated January 31, 1623, 'Romanæ Sedis Antistes.' Another prohibition (in respect to a parallel difficulty in China) was issued by Innocent X. on September 12, 1645, and modified by Alexander VIII. on March 23, 1656. Similar orders were passed from time to time by other Popes. But murmurs on the subject were still heard from the earlier established non-Jesuit missions in China and India. Influenced by the growing importance of these questions, Pope Clement XI., who had received the tiara in November, 1700, resolved to send a legate to India and China with authority to enquire into and dispose of the matters in dispute. - [Previous: 337](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.337) - [Next: 338.1.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.1.2) - [Up: 338.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.1.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.338.1.1) · Pramāṇa
