We
have gathered together papal encyclicals and the writings of Pope John
Paul II and as one of the longest reigning Popes in history he has
written
much. His Pontificate opened on October 16th 1978 and ended on April
2nd
2005.
.
I
personally think this Pope will go down in history as one of the Greats
and also as a Doctor of the Church. Because of this we've included a Short
Biography and a page on his Pontificate
to date. Each of his writings below will bring you to the relevant page
in the Vatican website.

Proprio (Apostolic Documents 'of the Pope's own accord', not on the
advice of the cardinals or others, but for reasons which the Pope
himself
deemed sufficient. The document has generally the form of a decree: in
style it resembles a Brief rather than a Bull, but differs from both
especially
in not being sealed or countersigned.)
