On November 17, 1884, during the seventh year of Pope Leo XIII's pontificate, Dom Antonio Joaquim de Medeiros, formerly the titular Bishop of Thermopylae, was appointed Bishop of Macau. This appointment was facilitated by King Luís I of Portugal, who presented Medeiros for the position. The Diocese of Macau, under the patronage of the Portuguese king, became vacant upon the transfer of Bishop Emmanuel Bernard de Souza Ennes to the Diocese of Bragança. Financial records from November 14, 1884, detail the expenses related to Medeiros's appointment, totaling 757.57 and 959.53 florins in two separate computations. Papal bulls issued on November 13, 1884, officially document Medeiros's appointment, his absolution from prior vows, and his transfer to Macau. These documents also address the jurisdiction of the Macau Diocese, including territories under Portuguese rule and those overseen by the previous bishop. Further instructions outline Medeiros's responsibilities, including appointing a theologian and penitentiary, overseeing palace repairs, and establishing a mount of piety in Macau. The papal bulls also call upon the Chapter, clergy, people, and vassals of the Macau Diocese to show obedience and reverence to their new bishop.

This 1882 diplomatic correspondence from the Portuguese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, transmitted from Lisbon on 29 July, concerns ecclesiastical appointments within the Portuguese colonial context in Asia. The document comprises three interrelated texts: an official dispatch transmitting ecclesiastical materials to a government minister; a royal charter dated 30 December 1881 (with year partially redacted) issued under the authority of the King of Portugal; and a formal petition addressed to the Pope regarding the appointment of António Joaquim de Alpedrinha as coadjutor to the Archbishop of Goa and Superior of the Missions of Timor. Key figures include Dom Luís, styled as ruler of multiple territories including India, the priest António Joaquim de Alpedrinha, Father Espírito da Caparinha, and Medeiros, the Vicar General of Goa. The primary subject matter involves the nomination of Alpedrinha to assist in the spiritual governance of a vast and administratively challenging diocese encompassing Timor, with explicit reference to canonical procedures, the preservation of the Padroado Real (Royal Patronage), and the need for papal confirmation through Apostolic Letters. A stipend (congrua) is requested for the appointee’s sustenance. The documents reflect the intersection of state authority, colonial administration, and ecclesiastical jurisdiction in the late nineteenth-century Portuguese Empire, offering critical insights into church-state relations and the governance of overseas missions during the period.
