Acta Apostolicae Sedis (AAS) is the official gazette of the Holy See, serving as the primary means of promulgating official documents of the Catholic Church. It was established by Pope Pius X on 29 September 1908, and the first issue was published in January 1909. The journal is published monthly in Latin, the official language of the Holy See.
History[edit | edit source]
Before the establishment of Acta Apostolicae Sedis, the official documents of the Holy See were published in a variety of different formats and locations. The need for a centralized and consistent publication led to the creation of AAS. The journal replaced the earlier Acta Sanctae Sedis, which had been published from 1865 to 1908 but did not have official status.
Content[edit | edit source]
Acta Apostolicae Sedis includes a wide range of documents, such as:
- Papal encyclicals
- Apostolic letters
- Motu proprio
- Decrees of the Roman Curia
- Canon law decisions
- Official appointments and resignations
The publication of a document in AAS is considered an official promulgation, making the document legally binding within the Church.
Importance[edit | edit source]
The publication of documents in Acta Apostolicae Sedis is crucial for the legal and administrative functioning of the Catholic Church. It ensures that all members of the Church, including clergy and laypeople, have access to the official teachings and decisions of the Holy See. The journal is an essential resource for canon lawyers, theologians, and historians studying the development of Church doctrine and governance.
Accessibility[edit | edit source]
Acta Apostolicae Sedis is available in print and online. The Vatican website provides access to digital copies of the journal, allowing for broader dissemination and easier access to its contents.
