Dupanloup, Bishop Felix Antoine Filibert, Orleans, France, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1854 March 30

A young priest, Father Paul Gélot, has just presented himself. He was ordained in Blanc's diocese and shows an exeat signed by Blanc and by Father Adrien Rouquette . There are several corrections in this exeat which makes Dupanloup doubt its validity. This young man from Chambéry says he was brought to Blanc's diocese by the Oblates of Marseilles. He has just spent some time in Rome at the Lazarists' house. P.S. Dupanloup would like to establish in his diocese the cohabitation and commensality of assistants and pastors. This measure seems all the more important since all the assistants here are very young priests. Dupanloup asks if this common life is established in Blanc's diocese and province by ordinance and statute or simply by custom and for how long. :: VI-1-g A.L.S. French 2pp. 12mo.
