Bull "Per Venerabilem"

A "Bull" in papal terms is an official document issued by the Pope. "Per Venerabilem" is Latin for "through the venerable" or "by the revered," indicating the Pope's formal authority in the document. Such bulls are used to communicate important decrees, appointments, or doctrinal decisions, often with a high level of ceremony and legal weight. Essentially, this phrase emphasizes the Pope’s respectful acknowledgment of the individual or topic addressed, marking the document as an official and authoritative communication from the Vatican.
