The Church Documents Table of Contents

This is the base page for my Church Documents project, a collection of links to English translations of Church documents on-line. I have grouped them by subject, and they are in chronological order within each section. The singular pages are more detailed divisions of each subject. At the bottom is the original Index of links. If you have any comments about the project (dead links, missing links, more links to add, anything else), feel free to leave a comment in the comment box, or send me an e-mail. My main sources can be found at the bottom of the Index.

Nota Bene: It has been years since I was doing any upkeep on this list, so I assume link rot has severely infested it; in addition, there have been no new documents added since the very beginning of Pope Francis' reign.  I'm not sure if I will ever go and do a full review of the list (as I am not sure if anyone uses it), but I will be happy to make specific updates if you comment or contact me. -- 2/21/2023
