Papal Rescripts

Religious and Devotional Writing

Papal rescripts are the written responses of the pope, or of a Congregation of the Roman Curia, to the queries or petitions of individuals. Some rescripts grant favours, while others concern the administration of justice under canon law, such as the interpretation of a law or the appointment of a judge.
