Pope John XXIII in 1959. Pope John XXIII (1881–1963; reigned 1958–1963) issued eight papal encyclicals during his five-year reign as pope of the Catholic Church.An encyclical is a letter issued by the pope that is usually addressed to Catholic bishops or laity in a particular area or of the whole world.
While maintaining the traditional papal ceremonial, Pope John continued his predecessors' policy of a gradual reform to the traditional Roman liturgy, inserting the name of Saint Joseph into the Canon of the Mass, which had been considered untouchable, and promulgating a Code of Rubrics that made changes such as altering the classification of liturgical feasts.
