Allocutio Ioannis XXIII ad Fratres Praedicatores (1961.09.25)

The text is a Latin allocution of John XXIII to the superiors and members of the Order of Preachers (Dominicans) during their General Chapter in Bologna in 1961, in which he praises their historical fidelity to Rome, their poverty, preaching, studies, missions, publishing, and exhorts them to harmonize “new” initiatives with “ancient” heritage in service to the universal Church under the Apostolic See. It is precisely in this apparently pious, traditional vocabulary that one perceives the programmatic mutation: the instrumentalization of an illustrious order for the conciliar revolution, under the guise of “renewal,” “adaptation,” and “new ways” to diffuse the Gospel.

Allocutio Ioannis XXIII (1961.07.06)

This brief Latin allocution of John XXIII, addressed to the preparatory Commission for the Apostolate of the Laity during the lead-up to the so-called Vatican II, reacts to bloody events in Algeria with expressions of sorrow, an appeal to prayer, and a desire for peace “founded on justice and charity,” especially by imploring rulers to establish a true and stable peace; yet beneath its pious phrases, it epitomizes the naturalistic, horizontal, and politically opportunistic spirit that would soon enthrone the conciliar revolution against the Kingship of Christ.

Speeches

Allocutio Ioannis XXIII (1961.06.20)

The allocution of John XXIII of 20 June 1961 to the members of the Central Commission for the preparation of the so-called Second Vatican Council presents an enthusiastic self-congratulation over the preparatory work, extols the worldwide consultation of bishops, academics and laity, prescribes Latin as the official language with pragmatic concessions, insists that the Council will not be a parliament but a solemn gathering of the hierarchy, urges persevering prayer for its success, and depicts the future Council as a radiant event for all nations and even for those “separated brethren” and non-believers whom the “Church” desires to embrace.

Speeches

Allocutio Ioannis XXIII (1961.06.12)

The text is a Latin allocution of John XXIII to the Central Commission preparing the so‑called Second Vatican Council, delivered on 12 June 1961, in which he jubilantly hails the rapid progress of the preparatory work, exalts the “expectation” of the world (including those “outside the Church”), and solemnly frames the future council as a luminous continuation of previous ecumenical councils destined to leave an “indelible mark” on the Church, under the auspices of the Holy Ghost and the intercession of the saints; in reality, this speech is a programmatic manifesto of the conciliar revolution, already revealing the anthropocentric optimism, naturalistic trust in the world, and deliberate instrumentalisation of conciliar authority that would be used to overturn the integral Catholic order established up to 1958.

IOANNES XXIII (1961.01.16)

At this secret consistory of 16 January 1961, Giovanni Roncalli (“John XXIII”) reports routine curial formalities, laments persecutions and moral dangers in the world, exalts the planned “ecumenical council” as an instrument of peace and renewal, and creates several new “cardinals,” presenting the conciliar agenda as a hopeful flowering of the Church for humanity. In reality, this apparently pious allocution is a programmatic manifesto of the new paramasonic religion of post-conciliarism, in open rupture with the integral, pre-1958 Catholic Faith and the social Kingship of Christ.

Allocutio Ioannis XXIII ad Commissiones Praeparatorias (1960.11.14)

In this address of 14 November 1960 in St Peter’s Basilica, Angelo Roncalli (John XXIII) convenes and exhorts the preparatory commissions for what would become Vatican II. He praises previous ecumenical councils, outlines procedural hopes and methods for the new council, appeals to history, unity, and human collaboration, and explicitly frames the coming assembly not primarily as a defense of dogma against errors, but as a positive aggiornamento of Christian life, discipline, and thought in response to the modern world. The text’s pious veneer conceals and inaugurates a radical shift: from defending the immutable deposit of faith to adapting the Church to the spirit of the age, laying a programmatic foundation for the conciliar revolution and systemic apostasy.

Allocutio Ioannis XXIII ad Athletas (1960.08.24)

This allocution of John XXIII to Olympic athletes (St. Peter’s Square, 24 August 1960) greets sportsmen from all nations, recalls Pius X’s courtesy toward Pierre de Coubertin, extols physical exercise and noble competition, and briefly alludes to Rome’s dual role in history and religion, presenting the city as providential center of empire and then of Christianity, and concludes with a generic invocation of divine blessings on the athletes and their families. The entire speech is a polished hymn to natural virtue and international camaraderie, burying the Cross and the Kingship of Christ under an elegant cult of the body and of “universal” values, and thus manifests from its first line the spiritual sterility of the conciliar revolution.

Sacrum Consistorium (1960.05.30)

On 30 May 1960, in the Apostolic Palace, John XXIII convened a semi-public consistory to hear the Cardinals and bishops regarding the canonization of John de Ribera, Patriarch of Antioch and Archbishop of Valencia. The text briefly recalls the prior procedural stages, asserts that Ribera’s heroic virtue and miracles have been sufficiently established, invites once more the votes of the attending prelates, notes unanimous consent, and then announces the decision to enroll Ribera among the saints on Trinity Sunday (12 June 1960) in St Peter’s Basilica, exhorting prayer that this decree be for God’s glory and the good of the Christian people. From the perspective of integral Catholic faith, this seemingly formal act exposes the self-demolition of authority in the conciliar revolution: an usurper invoking the infallible forms of the Roman Pontificate to counterfeit sanctity, thereby corroding the very notion of canonization and preparing the way for the neo-church’s cult of ideological “saints.”

La sacrum consistorium (1960.05.30)

On 30 May 1960, in a so‑called semi‑public consistory, Angelo Roncalli (John XXIII) announced, in Latin, the final step toward the “canonization” of John of Ribera, Patriarch of Antioch and Archbishop of Valencia. He briefly recalls prior discussions in a secret and a public consistory, notes the alleged proofs of heroic virtue and miracles “above the order of nature,” solicits once more the opinions of the assembled “cardinals” and “bishops,” and, receiving unanimous consent, declares his intention to inscribe the blessed into the catalogue of saints on Trinity Sunday, 12 June 1960, in St. Peter’s Basilica, with all due liturgical solemnity, “for the glory of God and the good of the Christian people.”

La Consistorium Secretum Allocutio Ioannis XXIII (1960.03.28)

On 28 March 1960, in a secret consistory, John XXIII delivered an allocution in which he: praises the Roman Curia; laments persecutions of clergy (especially recalling Aloysius Stepinac); expresses satisfaction over the recent Roman diocesan synod; presents the creation of new cardinals from various continents (Japan, the Philippines, Tanganyika, etc.) as a sign of the Church’s universality; links this expansion of the “Sacred College” to the preparation of the Second Vatican Council; and concludes with a prayer that bishops, clergy, and peoples be led to unity, peace, and collaboration under his leadership and that of the newly created cardinals. The entire speech, however clothed in pious Latin, is a carefully staged manifesto of the coming conciliar revolution and of the construction of a new, naturalistic, globalist religion under the usurped authority of a man already at war with the integral Catholic order.
