IMMENSA AETERNI DEI

'''Immensa Aeterni Dei''' is an apostolic constitution in the form of a papal bull issued by Pope Sixtus V on February, 1588. The constitution reorganized the Roman Curia, establishing permanent congregations of cardinals to advise the pope on various subjects. It has since been superseded, most recently by Pope John Paul II's constitution ''Pastor Bonus''.
