Introduction
This guide is designed to help you find documents issued by the Roman Catholic Church, such as Papal encyclicals, Bishops' statements, and many other kinds of documents.
This guide provides a number of useful resources. Use the tabs above to explore these resources.
Keep in mind though that access to official documents is increasing rapidly via the Web; some cataloged in CLICsearch, many found via Google and other search engines. And, try searching Google Books as well.
Note: Many of the databases listed in this guide are limited to use by members of The University of St. Thomas community (faculty, staff and students). If you are using the guide off-campus, it will ask for a brief login to identify yourself as a member of The University of St. Thomas community before you can use these resources.
Online databases and electronic journals subscribed to by the UST Libraries are licensed for use by the St. Thomas community ONLY. Because of this restriction, we need to verify that anyone accessing these databases is a current member of the St. Thomas community.
