Abstract: Pope Clement XI writes to the Archbishop of Mexico asking for spiritual and material support for the propagation of the Catholic faith in newly reported islands in the Chinese Ocean. The brief relies on information from the Archbishop of Manila and Jesuit procurators about islanders who drifted to the Philippines and were described as peaceful, fair-minded, and suitable for evangelization.
