Chicago style for citing sources is standard in history and religious studies, so it's not a bad thing to get used to using. I've included a link to a very detailed guide to using it by my colleague, and to the manual of style itself. Learn how to cite a book, a journal article, and something from a website, and that will cover about 80% of what you need to cite at BC.
Three key concepts in citing documents produced by the Church: 1) Titles and place names are not included, so Pope Francis and St. Augustine of Hippo become just Francis and Augustine. 2) Church organizations or conferences can be authors. 3) Papal encyclical letters are usually referred to by the first few words of the Latin text, but you can include a translation if you like.
