Magisterium
Summaries of Magisterial Documents
The Magisterium has been promulgated by the Catholic Church throughout 2000 years. Our Catholic Literacy Series (CLS) are distilled summaries of these Council documents, Papal letters, encyclicals, publications by the dicasteries.
These official church documents are condensed to core content, referenced by document and paragraph number. Originally we published in 13 volumes comprising 4.000 pages contained in 5 by 8 inch volumes.
Redesigned summaries are being made available in digital format to provide the learning resources necessary for future generations of Catholics.
Concern for Human Life
“So often we find ourselves in situations where we see that what is valued the least is life. That is why concern for human life in its totality has become in recent years a real priority for the Church’s Magisterium, especially for the most defenseless, i.e. the disabled, the sick, the newborn, children, the elderly, those whose lives are most defenseless.”
Pope Francis – (9/20/13) – Public Address, to Meeting of the International Federation of Catholic Medical Associations
Cultivate an Adult Faith
“We must do everything possible for catechetical renewal. To do this we need an ‘adult faith.’ This does not mean… a faith detached from the Magisterium of the Church. When we abandon the Magisterium, the result is dependency ‘on the opinions of the world, on the dictatorship of the communications media.”
Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI – Public Address, (February 23, 2012)
Service to the Truth
“This is the context in which the conviction that theology needs the living and clarifying word of the Magisterium becomes fully understandable and perfectly consistent with the logic of the Christian faith. The meaning of the Church’s Magisterium must be considered in relation to the truth of Christian doctrine.”
Saint John Paul II Address to Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (November 24, 1995)
