 Rossi received authorization to hear confessions though his obligations to the church choir made it hard for him to go back and forth during Mass to the booth and to the choir.To that end Pope Clement XII dispensed him from his obligation in the choir so he could hear confessions without distractions; Pope Benedict XIV confirmed this dispensation and made it permanent for Rossi.But a bitter canon believed that Rossi lied to acquire the dispensation and Rossi soon fell ill due to the distress.
