Apostolic Letters

The term Apostolic Letters (Litterae apostolicae in Latin) has two uses in Roman Catholicism:

  1. 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.
  2. various documents issued by the Pope or in his name.

Famous quotes containing the word letters:

    “Two months dead, I wrestle with your name
    Whose separate letters make a paltry sum
    That is not you.”
    —Howard Moss (b. 1922)
