Like that it mightbe enough priests.In the Seculi land there are many, big catholic towns withoutpriests and if they should have enough <strong>of</strong> them, whoknow the <strong>Hungarian</strong> language, it could be possible toconvert some others, too.In another region called Ciuc (Ciuck), and another one,Goirgiu (Gyergyo) everybody is catholic and they haven't apriest.In fact there is a bishop <strong>of</strong> Transylvania, who has hisresidence near the eminent cardinal <strong>of</strong> Hungary, because hecannot stay in Transylvania for fear <strong>of</strong> the Calvinist Princes,who pursue every catholic bishop, being afraid <strong>of</strong> a popularrevolt from the catholics against them. That's why they don'twant them in the country."Original version in Italian: G. Calinescu in "Diplomatarium Italicum"II./1930, page 332-339.44. 1633Report if the Italian Monk Niccolo Barsifrom Lucca, about his Visit in MoldaviaIasi the catholics have a church maintained by Dominicanand Franciscan monks.
