PM. Ponenza [prepared for the CG of 23 November 1818]. A letter from the bp. of Québec, Plessis, dated 26 July 1818 [see SOCG 091], was just received. It greatly changes the facts on which the previous ponenza [see Acta 039] on the bishopric of Québec was based. The bp.'s letter is summarized. From a political viewpoint, the bp.'s appointment to the Legislative Council [of Lower Canada] is a success, but from the viewpoint of canon law it raises a number of difficulties. The main question, whether a Catholic bp. can sit in a Protestant Legislative Council, never crossed the bp.'s mind.

An affirmative answer to the said question would simply had been a scandal "in another century". In order to make a final decision on the matter, further information must be received on the bp.'s obligations as member of the Legislative Council. As for the subdivision of the bishopric of Québec, while the writer agrees on the three suggested candidates ([E.] Burke, [A. McDonell, [A.B.] MacEachern]), the doubt remains whether they are to be appointed bp.s, coadjutors, or vicars general of the bp. of Québec. Moreover, it seems preferable that the bp., not the Holy See, negotiate directly with the Court of London. R: For the time being, the candidates [McDonell, MacEachern] are to be appointed coadjutors with episcopal title and vicars general [of the bp. of Québec]. Signed by De Gregorio. Bs: fol. 160v-161rv.
