Papal Documents Condensed by Deacon William Wagner
Over the years, Deacon Bill has worked hard to provide us with an easy to read "condensed" version of the following papal documents. The actual documents are available through your local Catholic bookstore or on the web at www.EWTN.com or www.w2.vatican.va . Please click on the link below to access each document.
Encyclicals are often not the most easily read documents. Do people actually take the time to read and attempt an understanding of these very important papal works? Popes do not write encyclicals just for fun. There are reasons. Here are some condensed, easier to read versions:
Pope Francis
Lumen Fidei
Amoris Laetitia
Pope John Paul II
Christifidelis Laici
