Apostolic Constitutions

Oturkpoensis (1959.04.02)

/

The Latin text attributed to John XXIII announces the elevation of the Apostolic Prefecture of Oturkpo in Nigeria to the rank of a diocese, maintaining its name and boundaries, placing it as suffragan to Onitsha, entrusting it to the Congregation of the Holy Spirit (Spiritans), defining the episcopal see, seminary requirements, consultors, and financial provisions, and solemnly asserting its binding force with the usual juridical formulae of perpetuity and nullity of contrary acts. This seemingly modest act of “pastoral organization” is in reality a juridical and symbolic brick in the construction of the future conciliar revolution and the occupation of Africa by the neo-church of the New Advent.

Allocutio Ioannis XXIII (1962.12.07)

/

John XXIII’s allocution of 7 December 1962, given at the close of the first session of Vatican II in St Peter’s Basilica, is a brief self-congratulatory address to the assembled council fathers. He praises their participation, speaks of “charity in truth” governing the sessions, extols the “spectacle” of the worldwide episcopate gathered in unity, recalls with emotion the torchlight event in St Peter’s Square, entrusts the work to the Immaculate Virgin, and defines the aim of the Council as that the Gospel be better known and ever more deeply permeate “every area of civil culture.” In one sentence: this soft, sentimental, theatrical monologue is the manifesto of a new, horizontal religion in which the Church adores its own visibility and prepares the replacement of the reign of Christ the King with the cult of conciliar man.

Sancti Dominici (1959.04.01)

/

The constitution “Sancti Dominici” of John XXIII proclaims, in solemn curial Latin, the erection of a new diocesan structure in the Dominican Republic — the so‑called Diocese of “Our Lady of Altagracia in Higüey” — by partitioning territory from the Archdiocese of Santo Domingo, defining its borders, establishing its cathedral, seminarium, chapter, revenues, and subordinating it as suffragan to Santo Domingo within the conciliar-administrative framework. In reality, this apparently technical act is an early juridical brick in the construction of the conciliar anti-Church, where usurped authority, territorial engineering, Marian sentimentality, and state-dependent financing are marshalled to prepare an ecclesial organism that will later serve the cult of man condemned by the pre-1958 Magisterium.

Allocutio Ioannis XXIII in Sollemni SS. Concilii Inauguratione (1962.10.11)

/

On 11 October 1962, John XXIII, presenting himself as “pope,” solemnly opened the so‑called Second Vatican Council at St Peter’s, praising past councils, proclaiming confidence in modern humanity, announcing a “pastoral” aggiornamento in doctrine’s mode of expression, rejecting “prophets of doom,” and declaring that the Church should prefer the “medicine of mercy” to the “weapons of severity,” while proposing to re-present Catholic teaching in ways adapted to the contemporary world and oriented toward a new conception of unity of the “human family.” In one stroke, he programmatically disarmed the Church’s guardianship of the deposit of faith and blessed the nascent neo-religion of post-conciliarism: this address is the programmatic manifesto of the conciliar revolution.

Constitutio Apostolica Tudensis (1959.03.09)

/

In this brief Latin decree issued in 1959, John XXIII grants the diocese of Tuy (Tudensis) the additional title “Vigo” (“Vicensis” in the Latin of the text, relating to Vigo) and elevates the church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Vigo to the status of a concatedral (co-cathedral), with the associated privileges, jurisdictional provisions, and canonical formalities. The entire text is framed as a pastoral and organizational act aimed at promoting spiritual fruitfulness through an adjusted diocesan structure—but precisely therein its real significance emerges: a prelude in style, principles, and ecclesiology to the conciliar usurpation soon to devastate the visible structures of the Church.

Allocutio Ioannis XXIII (1962.06.20)

/

On June 20, 1962, John XXIII, at the close of the seventh session of the Central Preparatory Commission for Vatican II, delivers a triumphant allocution: he rejoices that three years of preparatory work have been completed; he recalls the “spark” of the council’s idea at St Paul Outside the Walls in 1959; he praises the commissions, laity, and experts; he presents the council as a “mystical tower” promising peace, abundance, unity, and renewal for the Church and the world; he exhorts the bishops to return home and inflame enthusiasm, prayer, and confidence in the approaching council, proposing meditations especially on the Gospel of John as spiritual preparation. The entire discourse is a serene self-congratulation of a new project that, under pious language, already displaces the divine constitution of the Church with a humanistic, democratized, media-driven enterprise — the embryo of the conciliar sect that would soon eclipse, in men’s eyes, the visible rights of Christ the King and the immutable Faith.

Seguntinae (1959.03.09)

/

The document issued by John XXIII under the title “Seguntinae” solemnly decrees that the diocese of Seguntina in Spain shall henceforth bear the combined name Seguntina-Guadalajarensis, elevates the church of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Guadalajara to the dignity of a concathedral, and regulates the residence of the bishop and the rights of canons accordingly; wrapped in the language of juridical precision and Marian piety, it presents itself as a benign adjustment of ecclesiastical structures in harmony with the 1953 Concordat with Spain. Behind this apparently innocuous administrative act stands the signature and program of the man who inaugurated the conciliar subversion: a calculated, bureaucratic prelude to the dismantling of the visible structures of the Catholic Church in favour of the coming conciliar sect.

Allocutio Ioannis XXIII ad conventum vocationum (1962.05.26)

/

John XXIII’s allocution of 26 May 1962 to participants of the first international meeting on priestly vocations presents a serene, optimistic exhortation: delegates from all nations are thanked, difficulties are acknowledged but downplayed, and the solution is sought in prayer for “holy, wise, active priests” and in exemplary clergy whose virtues will attract youth to the seminary. The speech insists on confidence, rejects “lamentations,” and sketches a pious but deliberately simplified image of priestly life focused on moral example, moderated activity, and encouragement of vocations through family and parish witness.

OXOMENSIS (SORIANA) (1959.03.09)

/

This Latin act of John XXIII, under the title Constitutio Apostolica Oxomensis (Soriana), announces the juridical coupling of the name “Soriana” to the diocese of Osma (Oxomensis) in Spain and elevates the church of St Peter in Soria to the rank of a concatedral, assigning it corresponding rights and obligations, and commissioning the then “Apostolic Nuncio” to implement these measures according to the 1953 Concordat with Spain. The entire text is a perfectly polished piece of canonical-administrative prose which, while externally conservative, manifests the new regime of usurpation already underway: a paramasonic, conciliarized structure using the shell of Catholic legalism to prepare the ecclesiological revolution of Vatican II.
