Apostolic Exhortation
A apostolic exhortation is a text close to the Encyclique, by its spirit and its recipients. With the difference of the encyclical, the exhortation always pleads to encourage to engage in such or such activity, or to take a particular way.
The apostolic exhortation is described as post-synodal apostolic exhortation when it is published following a episcopal Synode bringing together the bishops of the various parts of the world. In this case, the apostolic exhortation translates the conclusion of the pope on the topic of the synod and the common vision who released himself some.
If they do not have the legal authenticity of a Encyclique, these pontifical acts are made public on a regular basis.
Among these exhortations, it is necessary to mention Evangelii Nuntiandi (on the evangelization in the modern world), Christifideles laici, Familiaris Consortio, Reconciliatio and Pœnitentia, Pastores Gregis, Pastores Dabo Vobis, Sacramentum Caritatis and Vita Consecrata
