Caius has incurred several impediments of consanguinity and affinity by illicit intercourse from which children were born and then against the advice of the priest has entered into civil marriage with one, a counsin of the second degree of kindred, to whom he wishes to be legally married. This party is now with child by subsequent sins and he asks the dispensation to enable him to marry her promising to fulfill any penance imposed by the Pope or by the Bishop of Cincinnati. In the audience of May 9, 1824, Pope Leo XII ordered the secretary of the Sacred Congregation, Archbishop Capranus, to a discreet and approved confessor, after a sacramental confession and the removal of the occasion of sins with the other parties and after the manifestation of real penitance, the faculty of absolving the penitant from the sins and censures and penalties and of dispensing from the several impediments of consanguinity and affinity and of uniting them in marriage and of legitimating the children of this union if matters are as represented.
