This is a collection of links to English translations of Church
documents written by various entities related to the Church in the United States of America found on-line. (Since these groups are not part of the Magisterium like
the Pope and the Curia are, these documents are included in an
appendix.) It is part of my Church Documents project.
Nota Bene: Documents from Magisterial entities about the United States can be found under National Churches.
