allocution

Historically, a formal address given by the pope to the college of cardinals on any matter of ecclesiastical or political importance. In modern usage, a formal speech, especially one that informs or advises.

Since the pontificate of Pius XII (1939–58), other occasions, such as congresses, have been used for appropriate papal declarations.
