The term Apostolic Letters (Litterae apostolicae in Latin) has two uses in Roman Catholicism:
- The letters of the Apostles to Christian communities or those in authority, i.e. the Pauline Epistles, the Letter to the Hebrews, together with the seven General epistles of the other Apostles.
- various documents issued by the Pope or in his name.
Famous quotes containing the word letters:
“Certainly, young children can begin to practice making letters and numbers and solving problems, but this should be done without workbooks. Young children need to learn initiative, autonomy, industry, and competence before they learn that answers can be right or wrong.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
