On 24 September 1805, Father-Castro forwarded the proceedings to Durango. On 4
December, Visitor General Millan Rodriguez, acting for Bishop Olivares y Benito, noted that it was
odd that no statement indicating that the couple was Christian had been included. Paren~
permission was also lacking. Given the distance from Durango to New Mexico, a dispensation was
granted on the condition that the priest rectify the omissions in the proceedings and send the
additional infonnation to the bishop. Then, he was to proclaim the banns three times. Assuming no
new impediment arose, he was to marry the couple and grant them the nuptial blessing.
