the mission prefect's multi-article petition for the friars during secularization

State Papers, Missions and Colonization, tomo II · BANC MSS C-A 53, document 140

the mission prefect's multi-article petition for the friars during secularization: separate the padre's rooms/keys from the mayordomo-comisionado's; Comisionado aid on the Prelate's visitations; post/forge for church correspondence; and — the core — found a *Rancho* on the *congrua* account (tried at Carmel & Sta Cruz, to extend to all missions V.S. administers) so the missionaries can subsist; the 'sin religión no hay moral… no hay sociedad' argument + canonical-law grounds; asks Figueroa to draft a reglamento 'que no pugne con el estado eclesiástico.' A substantial statement by the future first bishop of California
