Venerable Brothers and beloved children of the Philippine Islands are congratulated by John XXIII on the inauguration in Rome of the Pontifical Philippine College, praised for its beauty, generosity of benefactors, and its role in forming seminarians “near the See of Peter” so that they may return as chosen heralds of truth to their homeland; he exhorts perseverance in the received faith, fervent prayers and support for priestly vocations, insisting that the people’s salvation depends especially on the sacred clergy. This seemingly pious allocution, however, is a distilled manifesto of the conciliar sect’s program: transferring the center of gravity from the divine, immutable Church to a neo-church around a manifest heretic, instrumentalizing the Philippines for the coming revolution, and replacing the supernatural priesthood with a Romanized apparatus of future collaborators of apostasy.

Vatican Radio’s Latin message of John XXIII to the peoples of Africa at the inauguration of a new transmitter is, on its surface, a courteous greeting, congratulating emerging African nations, invoking “joy,” “peace,” and “true liberty,” and clothing the initiative of expanded broadcasts in pious phrases and Pauline citations; yet precisely in its tone, omissions, and political-humanitarian framing it manifests the programmatic shift of the conciliar revolution: the reduction of the Church’s supernatural mission to natural well‑being and de facto benediction of de‑Christianized, Masonic “liberation,” without a single clear call to the only salvific order of the Kingship of Christ and membership in the one true Church.

John XXIII’s radiophonic message to the 1960 International Eucharistic Congress in Munich praises Bavaria’s Catholic heritage, extols the Most Holy Eucharist as the source of supernatural life for individuals, families, society, and the whole Church, calls for Eucharistic fervor, invokes peace among nations and respect for the “rights of the Church and human dignity,” and expresses particular solicitude for religious unity in Germany, culminating in a pious-sounding prayer to Christ in the Eucharist.

The radiophonic message of John XXIII to the Catholics in Japan (16 February 1959) is a short, apparently devout greeting: a benevolent apostolic-style exhortation to Japanese hierarchy and faithful, praise for Japanese culture, and a pious prayer invoking Christ as light of the world and the intercession of the Blessed Virgin for the Japanese people. Beneath this thin layer of pious vocabulary lies the inaugural rhetorical matrix of the conciliar revolution: admiration of natural virtues without a clear call to conversion to the one true Church, a silent relativization of the absolute necessity of the Catholic Faith and the social Kingship of Christ, and the early public self-presentation of John XXIII—already preparing Vatican II—as universal chaplain of a humanist brotherhood rather than as guardian of the uncompromising doctrine defined by his predecessors.

The radiophonic message of John XXIII to the Marian Congress in Saigon (1959) praises Vietnamese Catholic fidelity, exalts Marian devotion linked to Lourdes, recalls three centuries since the appointment of the first Apostolic Vicars in Vietnam, highlights the growth of the indigenous clergy and laity, promises spiritual favors, and appoints Cardinal Agagianian as papal legate to preside over the celebrations. The text wraps all this in sentimental rhetoric of gratitude, unity with the Roman See, and hope for peace, carefully avoiding any mention of the looming conciliar revolution which this very usurper was already preparing; it is a polished prelude to the subversion of the Catholic missions in Asia and an early specimen of the pious mask covering the metastasis of Modernism.

The radiophonic message of 27 April 1959 presents John XXIII calling the bishops and faithful of the whole world to intensified Marian prayers during the month of May for the success of the announced “ecumenical council.” He extols Mary’s maternal mediation, recalls her presence in the Cenacle before Pentecost, and urges clergy, religious, the sick, families, and children to unite in supplication so that, through her intercession, a “new Pentecost” may smile upon the Christian family and ensure a “happy outcome” of the council he intends to convoke. This apparently devout exhortation is, in reality, the pious-smelling curtain behind which the greatest subversion of the visible structures of the Church was prepared, disfiguring Marian piety into a spiritual fuel for the conciliar revolution.

On Pentecost 1959, John XXIII addresses a radiophonic “celebration” linking seven major churches across Europe, each singing successive stanzas of the hymn “Veni Creator Spiritus,” which he presents as a symbolic renewal of the Cenacle event, a “new song” of charity, unity, victory, and peace, culminating in a brief doxology to the Most Holy Trinity and a general blessing.

John XXIII’s radio “message” of 20 August 1959 to the Marian Congregation sodalities gathered in Novara is, at first glance, a pious exhortation: it greets Archbishop Józef Gawlina and the assembled clergy and laity; it praises Marian sodalities as “vanguards” of apostolic action; it urges consecration to Our Lady, imitation of her virtues, and generous lay apostolate adapted to “the conditions of our times.” It repeatedly extols Mary as the path to Christ, citing Bernard of Clairvaux, and presents Marian sodalities as a disciplined “pious militia” within the Church, ordered to spreading devotion, defending “holy laws,” and engaging in charitable works in modern society.

Yet beneath the devout surface, this address subtly relocates Marian devotion and lay “apostolate” into the programmatic framework of the incipient conciliar revolution, preparing souls for naturalistic activism, laicized ecclesiology, and submission to a new orientation of the “Church,” in which Our Lady is instrumentalized as a decorative emblem for a coming apostasy rather than as the implacable defender of the integral Catholic faith.

This radiophonic message of John XXIII, addressed to the hierarchy and faithful of the Philippine Islands at the close of a “missionary year” in 1959, praises their initiatives, exalts their zeal for propagating Catholic faith, encourages generosity for “sacred expeditions” and missionary works, and concludes with an ostensibly pious blessing invoking Our Lord and the Blessed Virgin of the Rosary. Behind the ornamented phrases of missionary enthusiasm, however, the text already manifests the subtle displacement of the true Catholic mission by a conciliatory, naturalized, and proto-conciliar vision that would soon mature into the conciliar revolution itself.

On October 29, 1958, shortly after the death of Pius XII, Angelo Roncalli as “John XXIII” delivered from the Sistine Chapel a solemn radio message to the “entire Catholic world.” He presents himself as unexpectedly burdened by the papal office, extends paternal greetings and blessings to the “Sacred College,” bishops, clergy, religious, laity, with particular sympathy for persecuted Catholics, calls civil rulers to peace and disarmament, and appeals to separated Eastern Christians and other non-Catholics to return to unity under the Roman See. The text culminates in a discourse on peace as ordered concord, invoking Augustine and classical authors, and concludes with a Urbi et Orbi-style benediction.
