Solacium ac levationem (1959.10.23)
The Latin document under review is a brief act by John XXIII conferring the title and privileges of a minor basilica on the Marian shrine of “Nuestra Señora de la Consolación” in Táriba, in the diocese of San Cristóbal in Venezuela. It praises the people’s Marian devotion, invokes the consoling intercession of the Blessed Virgin, recalls the image brought by missionaries as a focal point of piety, and solemnly decrees, with typical curial formulas, that the church be elevated to the rank of minor basilica with the attached rights and privileges.
BEATAM MARIAM VIRGINEM «A BONO CONSILIO» (1959.10.21)
The document under consideration, issued in 1959 under the name of John XXIII, is a Latin apostolic letter declaring that the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title “of Good Counsel” and Saint Benedict, Abbot, are to be the primary heavenly patrons of the abbey nullius of New Norcia in Australia. It recounts local devotion, petitions by the monastery’s ordinary, and, invoking “apostolic authority,” formally designates these patrons with the liturgical honors due to principal patrons, nullifying any contrary provisions.
This seemingly pious act, however, is already a juridical and symbolic consolidation of the emerging conciliar usurpation: it appropriates authentic Catholic devotions and saints as ornamental camouflage for a nascent, counterfeit authority preparing the revolution of Vatican II.
Iuventutis praeceptorem (1959.10.16)
The document, issued by John XXIII on October 16, 1959, designates Saint John Bosco as heavenly Patron of all Colombian young trainees and workers (“los Aprendices Colombianos”) of the SENA system, extending to them liturgical honors and privileges proper to patronal titles. It presents this act as a pastoral encouragement for youth formation through professional training placed under Don Bosco’s protection, in continuity with a similar decision of Pius XII for Italian youth workers.
Respice Stellam (1959.09.09)
The Latin text known as “Respice Stellam” (9 September 1959) is a brief act by John XXIII declaring the Marian image “Beata Maria Virgo de Guadalupe d’Estremadure” as “principal heavenly Patroness” of the Diocese of La Basse-Terre et Pointe-à-Pitre (Guadeloupe) and titular of its cathedral. The document clothes this decision in traditional-sounding Marian devotion, invokes St Bernard’s “Respice stellam,” and uses solemn canonical formulae to ascribe liturgical rights and privileges to this title of Our Lady within that local church.
