Marialis Cultus

The Marialis Cultus (1974) is Pope Paul VI’s Apostolic Exhortation on the Marian devotion. This document presents the conciliar renewal of the cult to the Blessed Virgin Mary, offering liturgical, ecumenical, and anthropological guidelines. It remains a fundamental magisterial reference for Catholic Marian piety, linking popular devotions, liturgy, and theology. We provide here access to the text of Paul VI’s Marialis Cultus from the Vatican, along with an introductory note on its context, content, and Mariological significance.
