Scope and Contents

In virtue of his apostolic power given him for the provision of churches, and seeing the zeal of Borgess, and that the see of Calydonia has been vacated by the transfer of Bishop Antonius Grech Delicata Cassia Testaferrata to the see of Gozo, Pope Leo appoints Borgess to that vacant see. He is to receive consecration from a Bishop in union with the Apostolic See, assisted by two bishops or, if they cannot be present, by two priests. Signed by Nicholas Cardinal Paraciani Clarelli. The bull is also signed by the consecrators on April 24, 1870: Bishop Sylvester H. Rosecrans as Consecrator and Bishops Patrick A. Feehan and John Henry Luers as Assistant Consecrators. :: III-2-l Sealed Bull S. Latin One full page
