This is a scholarly transcription of a 1712 historical document: *A Sincere and True Account of the Lawful Defence of the Royal Prerogatives and Privileges of the Crown of Portugal in the City of Macau*, composed by Dr Dom Félix Leal de Castro in Macau on 4 February 1712 and printed in Xiangshan. The text constitutes a formal rebuttal to an anonymous 1712 Augustinian account concerning ecclesiastical jurisdictional conflicts arising from the presence in Macau of Cardinal Charles-Thomas Maillard de Tournon, Patriarch of Antioch and Apostolic Legate to China. It details the protracted dispute (1705–1712) between Portuguese civil and ecclesiastical authorities—including the Bishop and Captain-General of Macau, the Viceroy of Portuguese India, and the Primate Archbishop—over the Patriarch’s claim to exercise jurisdiction in Macau without presenting papal bulls formally ratified by the Royal Council of Portugal (*Conselho Ultramarino*) or obtaining prior royal consent. Central figures include the Patriarch; Captain-General Diogo de Lino Teixeira and his successor Francisco de Mello e Castro; Bishop of Macau; Vicar General of the diocese; Prior Fray Constantino del Espíritu Santo of the Augustinian Convent; and Provincial Father Francisco Pinto of the Society of Jesus. The document records key events: the Patriarch’s 1705 arrival and restricted activities in Macau; the 1707 council of the Three Estates affirming royal prerogatives (*regalias da Coroa*); the imposition and subsequent modification of the Patriarch’s custody; the 1708–1710 expulsions and arrests of religious loyal to the Patriarch—including Augustinians and Dominicans—and the renewal of prohibitions against their convents; the 1709 royal decrees (*cédulas*) confirming the Crown’s position; the Patriarch’s death in June 1710; and the 1712 handover of the Augustinian Convent to secular clergy. All assertions are grounded in archival instruments, official correspondence, canonical procedure, and juridical reasoning rooted in the Portuguese *regalia* and papal privileges granted to the Crown.

This 1926 diplomatic correspondence, consisting of two nearly identical dispatches dated 4 and 6 September and originating in Rome, reports on the impending consecration of two indigenous Chinese bishops by the Pope. Classified under Series A, No. 71, and addressed to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the documents highlight the significance of the papal decision to personally conduct the consecration, underscoring its alignment with the Pope’s established policy of promoting and strengthening indigenous ecclesiastical leadership in Eastern territories. The repeated emphasis on the indigenous status of the bishops reflects a strategic shift within the Catholic Church towards localising clerical authority in mission regions during the early 20th century. Sent by an official identified only as J., the communications serve as formal notifications of a notable development in Sino-Vatican ecclesiastical relations and illustrate the intersection of religious authority and diplomatic protocol within the context of colonial-era missionary expansion. These documents provide primary evidence of institutional efforts to indigenise Christian leadership in China and offer insight into the Vatican’s engagement with non-European clergy during the interwar period. They are valuable for researchers examining religious diplomacy, colonialism, and the globalisation of Catholicism in the modern era.
