A "circular letter" addressed by the pope to all members of the Church or to a specific group in the Church or, as is common for recent popes, to all men and women of goodwill. The subject matter of an encyclical is traditionally serious and important, a matter of doctrine or morals or discipline in the Church, or a matter of grave importance (for example, peace and justice) to the whole world. For Catholics, the teachings in encyclicals "belong to the ordinary magisterium of the Church" (Pope Pius XII) and therefore demand internal assent and external respect.
