{{Main|Pastor bonus}}
John Paul II promulgated the apostolic constitution ''[[Pastor bonus]]'' on 28 June 1988. It instituted a number of reforms in the process of running the [[Roman Curia]]. ''Pastor bonus'' laid out in considerable detail the organisation of the Roman Curia, specifying precisely the names and composition of each dicastery, and enumerating the competencies of each [[dicastery]]. It replaced the previous special law, ''Regimini Ecclesiæ universæ'', which was promulgated by Paul VI in 1967.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.ncregister.com/blog/jimmy-akin/is-pope-francis-about-to-rip-up-the-vatican-constitution-12-things-to-know/ |title=Akin, Jimmy.
