I the new petitioners wish to go into an appropriate relationships, however, since the Kovchik try of the Orthodox faith and is part of the Malo-Mozheiskii parish, and you may Orlovskaia is actually of the Roman Catholic confession and you can is part of the fresh Zholudskii parish, none the fresh Malo-Mozheiskii [Orthodox] priest, neither the fresh Zholudskii Catholic priest wants to provide us with this new marital crown, the former without any conversion process of Orlovskaia on the Orthodox believe, plus the second without the transformation of Kovhcik on Roman Catholic trust. As well as it cause we do have the prize of most humbly requesting Your own Excellency in order to matter a great directive training this new Vilnius Roman-Catholic Religious Consistory to shop for the priest of one’s Zholudskii Roman Catholic chapel to give you the [marital] crown with no sales away from Kovchik towards the Roman Catholic confession, just like the Orthodox Church and Roman Catholic church confess trust in the same God Christ, and every individual finds out they more enjoyable so you can pray on the vocabulary and he or she was trained regarding youth.
