Vatican Publishing House

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Vatican Publishing House (Italian: Libreria Editrice Vaticana) is a publisher established by the Holy See in 1926. It is responsible for publishing official documents of the Roman Catholic Church, including Papal bulls and encyclicals.[1]

The company owns the copyright to all the writings of the Pope, but did not start enforcing the copyright until the accession of Pope Benedict XVI.[2]
