The Chancery of Apostolic Briefs, is a former office of the Roman Curia, merged into the Congregation for Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs by Pope Pius X on June 29, 1908 with the apostolic constitution Sapienti Consilio. The chief official was the Chancellor of Holy Roman Church who was always Cardinal-Priest of San Lorenzo in Damaso. This office should not confused with the Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church which is a cardinal that deals with the vacancy of the Apostolic See. The principal function of the Chancellor was founded originally to collect money to maintain the papal armies. Pope Pius VII reformed the office when Napoleon obviated the need for papal armies. In the early 20th century the office has the duties to collect money for missionary work. The office was abolished by the motu proprio Quo aptius of 27 February 1973 issued by Pope Paul VI. Its functions were transferred to the Vatican Secretariat of State.
