Allocutio Ioannis XXIII (1962.02.27)

amdg / 2025-11-08

John XXIII’s 27 February 1962 allocution at the close of the fourth session of the Central Preparatory Commission for Vatican II presents itself as a pious exhortation on priestly vocations and seminaries: he recalls Trent’s legislation on seminaries, emphasizes holiness, discipline, prayer, and sound studies adapted to “the new age,” invokes St Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows as a model of youthful sanctity, and links the conciliar preparation with the Church’s hope for renewed, holy clergy serving the spiritual good of all. Beneath this seemingly edifying surface stands the calculated use of traditional vocabulary as a cosmetic veil for an agenda ordered toward the conciliar revolution, the neutralization of Tridentine rigor, and the substitution of the public reign of Christ the King with a sentimental cult of “renewal” prepared to capitulate before the modern world.

La allocutio (1962.02.20)

amdg / 2025-11-08

The allocution of John XXIII on 20 February 1962, opening the fourth session of the Central Preparatory Commission for Vatican II, is a brief Latin discourse: it recalls earlier meetings, laments the deaths of three cardinals, rejoices at the presence of Cardinal Wyszynski and his Marian gift from Czestochowa, envelops all in pious sentiment about the communion of saints, and entrusts the conciliar work to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, presenting the Council as an effort “to promote the glory of God and the coming of His Kingdom on earth” and to “prepare for the Lord a perfect people.”

amdg / 2025-11-08

Venerable John XXIII’s January 23, 1962 allocution to the Central Preparatory Commission for Vatican II is a congratulatory speech in which he praises the bishops and experts for their work, rejoices in their unity, presents the immense volume of preparatory material as a sign of hope, exhorts serenity and concord, announces two upcoming documents (on unified priestly prayer for the Council and on strengthening the use of Latin, especially in seminaries), and implores prayers for the “great event” of the upcoming Council.

Allocutio Ioannis XXIII (1961.11.07)

amdg / 2025-11-08

In this allocution of 7 November 1961, John XXIII addresses the second plenary session of the Central Commission preparing Vatican II, praising the work of the preparatory bodies, exalting worldwide expectations for the coming council, invoking peace, human dignity, collaboration, and the “universal” hopes fixed upon this future assembly. He frames the council as a response to contemporary aspirations, emphasizes optimism about humanity’s moral and religious openness, and calls for trust in mutual understanding, justice, and respect for the human person redeemed by Christ.

Allocutio Ioannis XXIII ad Romanae Domus Catholicae Studiorum Universitatis a Sacratissimo Corde Iesu (1961.11.05)

amdg / 2025-11-08

John XXIII’s allocution of 5 November 1961, delivered at the inauguration of the Roman house of the so‑called Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, is a brief, ceremonious praise of academic expansion, of medical science, and of the legacy of Pius XI, Pius XII, and Agostino Gemelli. It lauds the new medical faculty in Rome, invokes the Virgin Mary as “Seat of Wisdom” and “Health of the Sick,” and offers a paternal blessing that the institution may flourish in knowledge and honour. The entire text is a polished exercise in institutional self‑congratulation and humanistic optimism, carefully avoiding any mention of sin, error, Modernism, or the primacy of Christ’s social Kingship that must judge all science and education; it is therefore a small but telling manifesto of the conciliar spirit: euphoric naturalism cloaked in pious phrases.

Allocutio Ioannis XXIII ad Sodales Societatis Iesu (1961.10.01)

amdg / 2025-11-08

John XXIII—the first antipope of the conciliar usurpers—addresses assembled members of the Society of Jesus in Rome (1961), praising their fidelity to the Roman See, exalting their special vow of obedience to the papacy, commending their apostolic works (especially youth formation and missions), and imparting his “apostolic blessing” as an encouragement to assist his program of religious renewal and moral restoration in society. In reality, this apparently devout allocution is a programmatic attempt to harness the Jesuits as the vanguard of a new, paramasonic religion of conciliar humanism under the label of obedience and “piety,” subordinating their famed discipline and intellectual power to the coming revolution against the integral Catholic faith.

Allocutio Ioannis XXIII ad Fratres Praedicatores (1961.09.25)

amdg / 2025-11-08

The allocution of John XXIII to the superiors and members of the Order of Preachers (Dominicans) on 25 September 1961 praises the historic fidelity of the Order to the Apostolic See, extols their title as “Order of Preachers,” and urges them to unite “old and new” in responding to the “needs of the times,” adapting studies, apostolate, missions, and publishing to contemporary circumstances while remaining, in his terms, faithful collaborators of the Roman See and instruments for spreading the Gospel.

Allocutio “Pace in Algeria” (1961.07.06)

amdg / 2025-11-08

On 6 July 1961, John XXIII addressed members connected with the Commission for the Apostolate of the Laity, using recent bloodshed in Algeria as the occasion for a short exhortation. He expressed sorrow over the violence, spoke of having visited those lands, mentioned offering the Eucharistic Sacrifice for peace, and urged prayers so that rulers might establish peace “founded on justice and charity” among all peoples redeemed by Christ’s Blood and gathered “as one family.”

Allocutio Ioannis XXIII ad Commissionem Centralem Concilii Vaticani II (1961.06.12)

amdg / 2025-11-08

John XXIII’s 1961 allocution to the Central Commission for preparing Vatican II presents the Council as a serene, pastoral, non-combative gathering of the “Sacred Hierarchy” aimed at renewal, unity, aggiornamento, lay collaboration, and a more effective engagement with the modern world, stressing organizational details, the role of commissions, the possibility of vernacular interventions, the watching eyes of all nations, and a vision of the Church as an inviting, adorned house embracing all humanity. It is precisely in this suavely triumphant self-presentation that we recognize the programmatic inauguration of a new religion: a horizontal, naturalistic, anthropocentric project masked with pious phrases, architected by an antipope and implemented through a paramasonic structure usurping Catholic authority.

Pope John XXIII addressing the Central Commission for the Second Vatican Council in 1961.

Speeches

Allocutio Ioannis XXIII (1961.06.12)

amdg / 2025-11-08

Pope John XXIII’s allocution of June 12, 1961, addresses the newly formed Central Commission preparing the so‑called Second Vatican Council. He recalls his 1959 announcement of a council and code revision, rejoices in global expectations (including from those outside the Church), praises preparatory work and commissions, invokes past councils as precedent, and attempts to set a serene, optimistic, and “pastoral” tone. Beneath this exuberant surface stands the programmatic displacement of the immutable Catholic order by an anthropocentric, conciliatory, and politically attuned neo-structure, whose seeds of doctrinal subversion are already visible and which this speech spiritually legitimizes.
