The term “pastoral” is presently used throughout the Church but nowhere is it defined and there is a great deal of confusion as to its use and interpretation. I note that “pastoral” – a term which has an etymology derived from shepherding – has been appropriated by the Church into an administrative/juridical structure but yet retains the more general descriptive content of qualities such as mercy, forgiveness and suchlike, both in the Church and the world, something which Pope Francis – papal – has sought to highlight.[1]

In this article I wish to track the meaning of the word “pastoral” as it occurred and occurs in papal thought in  John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul II, Benedict XVI and Francis. I will consider all of the  various ways in which the popes have employed the term, with particular reference to the allocutions to the Roman Rota.
