Absztrakt

Pope Paul VI. , following the request of several bishops, established the institution of “Synod of Bishops” during the Vatican Council II. It is, however, not an independent legislative forum, but rather a consultative organ: its decisions are to be submitted to the pope, who – when the synod is finished – takes into consideration the acts of the synod, but it is up to him how to handle it. Then, according to his own intentions writes an independent document named ­ apostolic exhortation. The first apostolic exhortation was written by Pope Paul VI. in 1975 with the title Evangelii Nuntiandi. Since then, every three-four years a Synod of Bishops has been organised, followed by an apostolic exhortation written by the pope. The present paper gives an account of the series of apostolic exhortation.
