Abstract
The Jubilee Year bulls offer a distinctive lens through which to observe the life of the Church in particular historical contexts, illuminating urgent concerns as well as the pastoral and spiritual practices promoted during these periods. Notably, they also place considerable emphasis on both personal and social ethics. This paper examines the Jubilee Year bulls from 1825 to 2025, exploring recurring moral concerns, tracing the development of key themes, and analysing the guidance they provide regarding individual conduct and political responsibility. The study highlights moral commitment as a defining aspect of the Jubilee experience.
