Father Madariaga forwarded the proceedings to Durango on 25 Feb 1822. On 6 Mar 1822, Father Madariaga wrote the bishop from Tomé stating that Juan José Sánches learned he was related to María Manuela in the second degree of affinity of the basis of copula illicita.

Bishop Castañoza granted dispensation from the impediment in the third and fourth degrees on a transverse line of the basis of angusti loci, but he failed to mention the impediment of affinity, which suggests he acted before learning of the new impediment. He assigned as penance that the couple would go to confession and communion during the year once they required by Church precepts. He ordered the priest in Tomé to publish the banns three times. Assuming no new impediment arose, he was to proceed with the marriage and nuptial blessing.
