366.2.4

'Si in exsequendis Sacra Congregationis mandatis tarn magnas vobis difficultates occurrent, ut sine tumultu non possint acceptari, omnino cavete ea invitis praebere, et ob eorum inobedientiam dissensiones serere, mentes alienare, animos exacerbare, verum indulgendo tempori et neophytorum infirmitati compatiendo, mandata in praesens omittere satius erit ; ad Sacram Congregationem omnino sinceritate summa praescribatis eaque quid sit agendum rescripserit.' [If you should meet with such great difficulties in carrying out the orders of the Sacred Congregation that you find they cannot be executed without creating a tumult, take great heed not to thrust them on unwilling persons, and thus, through their non-obedience, sow dissensions, alienate minds, and embitter souls; but, for the indulgence of the time, and in compassion for the weakness of the neophytes, it will be better to let the orders of the Sacred Congregation stand over a while. Write to the Sacred Congregation with the utmost frankness, and it will write back what is to be done.] Gentlemen, since this matter is one of the greatest consequence to us, and you are under obligation in conscience to testify to the truth, tell us whether you foresee any difficulty in replacing the Capuchin fathers in possession of their cure of the Malabãrls, as directed by the Sacred Congregation ?
