An apostolic exhortation is a type of communication from the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. It encourages a community of people to undertake a particular activity but does not define Church doctrine. It is considered lower in formal authority than a papal encyclical, but higher than other ecclesiastical letters, Apostolic Letters and Other Papal Writings. Apostolic exhortations are commonly issued in response to a synod of bishops, in which case they are known as post-synodal apostolic exhortations. ==Notable exhortations== * Africae munus (On the Church in Africa in Service to Reconciliation, Justice and Peace) * Christifideles laici (Christ’s Faithful People, 1988, Pope John Paul II) * Ecclesia in America (The Church in America, 1999, Pope John Paul II) * Ecclesia in Asia (The Church in Asia, 1999, Pope John Paul II) * Ecclesia in Europa (The Church in Europe) * Evangelii gaudium (The Joy of the Gospel, 2013, Pope Francis) * Evangelii nuntiandi (On Evangelization in the Modern Age, 1975, Pope Paul VI) * Familiaris consortio (On the Christian Family in the Modern World, 1981, Pope John Paul II) * Pastores gregis (For the Hope of the World) * Pastores dabo vobis (Shepherds After My Own Heart, 1992, Pope John Paul II) * Reconciliatio et paenitentia (On Reconciliation and Penance, 1984, Pope John Paul II) * Redemptoris custos (Guardian of the Redeemer, 1989, Pope John Paul II) * Sacramentum caritatis (On the Sacrament of Love, 2007, Pope Benedict XVI) * Verbum Domini (On the Word of God in the Life and Mission of the Church, 2010, Pope Benedict XVI) * Vita consecrata (On Consecrated Life) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「apostolic exhortation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
