Item
Identifier: CDET III-2-l
Scope and Contents
By reason of his Apostolic power to make provision for the churches, and noting that the see of Phacusan in the Province of Augustamnia, under the Archdiocese of Pelusiana, is vacant because of the death of Bishop Carl Testa, Leo appoints Borgess to that vacant see, since Borgess has resigned his own see of Detroit into his hands. But since the see is merely titular Borgess is not obliged to go there to reside according to the Constitution of Benedict XIV. Signed by Miecislas Ledochowski. :: III-2-l Sealed Bull S.
