About the Church's proclamation of the liberation of slaves.
As for the proclamation of manumission in the church, if it turns out that our colleagues in Italy are doing so, then we too will follow their order with unconditional trust, when the right to do so is openly given to the representative sent, so that everything that is worthy of trust and that can be done for the sake of church dispensation and the salvation of souls, we too will receive with praise before the Lord.
Greek original
Περὶ ἐλευθεριῶν δηλαδὴ ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ κηρυκτέων, ἐὰν τοῦτο οἱ ἡμέτεροι συνιερεῖς φαίνωνται ποιοῦντες ἀνὰ τὴν Ἰταλίαν, καὶ ἡ ἡμετέρα δῆλον πεποίθησις τῇ τούτων τάξει ἕπηται, δοθείσης φανερῶς ἀδείας πεμπομένου τοποτηρητοῦ, ἵνα οἱαδήποτε ἄξια πίστεως ὑπέρ τῆς ἐκκλησιαστικῆς καταστάσεως καὶ τῆς τῶν ψυχῶν σωτηρίας ἐκτελέσαι δυνηθείη, καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐπαινετῶς ἐνώπιον τοῦ Κυρίου ὑποδεξώμεθα. Ταῦτα πάντα, ἐὰν τῇ ὑμετέρᾳ ἁγιωσύνῃ ἀρέσκῃ, ἐξείπατε, ἵνα καὶ τὴν ἐμὴν ἀναφορὰν βεβαίαν οὗσαν ὑμῖν ἐπιδείξω, καὶ τὰ παρὰ τῆς πάντων ἡμῶν συναινέσεως ἡ αὐτῶν εἰλικρινότης ἡδέως προσδέξηται. Ἀπὸ πάντων τῶν ἐπισκόπων ἐλέχθη· Πᾶσιν ἀρέσκει· τὰ προτεθέντα, καὶ συνετῶς ἀπὸ τῆς σῆς ἁγιωσύνης ἐξηγηθέντα ὀφείλει ἐκτελεσθῆναι.[1]
