Luers, Bishop John Henry, Fort Wayne, Indiana, to Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere, Detroit, Michigan, 1863 January 24
Scope and Contents
Six months ago Luers wrote to Rome about the Council of Trent in regard to clandestine marriages. He received the answer that there was no knowledge of an indult granted to the Diocese of Detroit either at the Propaganda or at the Holy Office. The Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office thinks it necessary to require an exact copy of such indult as there is in existence a declaration of the supreme congregation of Feria IV, January 26, 1842 regarding the diocese of Detroit. From the above Luers perceives that instead of diocese he should have said city. He asks Lefevere to give him an account of the state of the question for which Lefevere wrote and Father Peter Kindekens went to Rome and a copy of the answer which he brought back. ` P.S. He is much obliged for the copy of Lefevere's late Synod. :: III-2-j A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
