History
This body was established by Pope Gregory XV with the publication of the Papal Bull Inscrutabili Divinae Providnetiae (June 22, 1622). Soon after, other foundational papal documents followed: Romanum decet (published on the same day), Cum inter multiplices (December 14, 1622), Cum nuper (June 13, 1623), and Immortalis Dei (August 1, 1627).
This body was responsible for the transmission and dissemination of the Catholic faith throughout the world, particularly, coordinating and guiding the Church's missionary efforts.
