576:1
Gregorius 0 Constantino episcopo Narniensi. Fraternitati vestræ Ecclesiae b Teramnanae visitationis operam nos olim mandasse recolimus. Sed quia pervenit ad nos quod, peccatis facientibus, nec clerus illic, nec plebs tanta remanserit, quibus c debeat interimepiscopus ordinari, utile esse prospeximus eamdem Ecclesiam, vel quidquid ipsius est, quousque illam ut Domino placuerit ordinemus, vestrae Deo auctore dispositioni committere. Et ideo solicitudinem vos convenit adhibere, ut quidquid de possessionibus Ecclesiae ipsius in qualibet re accedere potuerit, d vobis vel in reparatione ejusdem Ecclesiae sive cleri ipsius subventione proficiat;
Gregory to Constantinus, bishop of Narni. We recall having once charged your Fraternity with the work of visitation of the Church of Teramo. But because it has reached us that, our sins bringing it about, neither so great a clergy nor people has remained there by whom a bishop ought meanwhile to be ordained, we have foreseen it to be useful to commit that same Church, or whatever belongs to it, to your disposition—God being author—until we may ordain it as it shall please the Lord. And therefore it befits you to apply solicitude, so that whatever can accrue from the possessions of that Church in any matter may profit you either in the repair of that same Church or in the support of its clergy;
額我略致納爾尼(Narni)主教君士坦丁(Constantinus)。我們記得曾一度委託你的手足之情負責巡視特拉莫(Teramo)教會之事。但因有消息傳到我們這裡,說由於我們的罪過所致,那裡既無足夠的教士,也無足夠的百姓,可供其間為之祝聖一位主教,我們便預見到,把那同一教會、或凡屬它的一切,賴天主為主,託付於你的處置,乃是有益之舉,直到我們照主所喜悅的把它安置妥當為止。因此,你理當施以殷勤,好使凡能從那教會產業在任何事上所得的收入,都用於那同一教會的修繕,或用於其教士的供養;
576:2
quatenus et vos remedium pro vestro labore capere, et illi ali juod valeant sustentationis babere solatium. e Mobile vero prædictæ Ecclesiæ facta subtiliter voiumus describi notitia, nobisque transmitti, ut ex hoc quid fieri debeat, auctore Domino, d sponamus. Circa actus autem, vel disciplinam cIeri vel liliorum Ecclesiæ ipsius magnam te habere curam necesse est, atque ita insuper pastorali studio vigilare, ut de animabus eorum non culpabilis sis, sed apud omnipotentem Deum mercedem potius possis aequirere.
so that both you may take a remedy for your labor, and they may be able to have some solace of sustenance. But of the movable property of the aforesaid Church we wish a record to be subtly drawn up and transmitted to us, so that from this we may dispose, the Lord being author, what ought to be done. Concerning the conduct, moreover, or the discipline of the clergy or of the children of that same Church, it is necessary that you have great care, and moreover so to keep watch with pastoral zeal, that you may not be culpable concerning their souls, but may rather be able to acquire a reward with Almighty God.
好使你既能為自己的勞苦得一補償,他們也能有些供養的慰藉。但關於前述教會的動產,我們願你詳細擬具一份清單並送交我們,好使我們據此,賴主為主,安排當行之事。此外,關於那同一教會教士或教會子女的行為或紀律,你必須格外用心,並且要以牧者的熱心如此警醒,好使你不致因他們的靈魂而擔負罪責,反倒能在全能天主面前贏得賞報。
