Papal Encyclicals Online
was named one of the "Best Free Reference Web Sites" on the
internet by a special task force set up by the Reference and
User Services Association of the American Library Association
In the effort to provide a
more complete set of papal documents for public use on this site, should
anyone have the text of an encyclical, bull, or similar document in some
usable form or that can be found on another website, please send this
information to the webmaster at
webmaster@papalencyclicals.net

Recent Church Documents
NEW! E-reader files
in MOBI and EPUB file formats are in the process of being added.
Those files will be found on the individual pages for each Pope.
I am starting with the oldest documents first and working towards
the present time. This may take some time.
