A A A LA IOANNES PP. XXIII CHIROGRAPHUM… (1960.12.16)
In this brief Latin note, John XXIII sends cordial congratulations and an “Apostolic Blessing” to Ignatius Gabriel Tappouni, Syrian Patriarch of Antioch, on the fiftieth anniversary (“quinque lustra”) of his being created cardinal, praising his merits, fidelity to the Roman See, and pastoral service, and invoking divine grace upon him and his flock.
Libenter mox (1960.10.21)
This Latin letter of John XXIII, dated 21 October 1960 and addressed to Cardinal Marcello Mimmi as his legate to a Marian Congress in Buenos Aires, offers praise for the planned gathering, extols Marian devotion, and develops a programmatic discourse on “peace,” “social justice,” and “progress” to be fostered under Mary’s patronage, especially in the context of the “social question” in Latin America. Beneath its pious veneer, it instrumentalizes Marian language in order to promote an irenic, naturalistic, and politically adaptable religion in which Christ’s kingship, the Church’s exclusive salvific claims, and the condemnation of liberal and masonic errors are methodically muted, displaced, and prepared for dissolution.
Gratulationis (1960.08.21)
The Latin letter “Gratulationis” of 21 August 1960, issued by John XXIII to Joseph Wendel, archbishop of Munich-Freising, is an adulatory note of thanks for organizing the 37th International Eucharistic Congress in Munich. John XXIII praises the “magnificent liberality” of the event, the public display of faith, the collaboration of clergy, laity, and civil authorities, and especially the emotional spectacle of crowds, televised ceremonies, and mass “Communions,” from which he expects fruits of peace, concord, and mutual understanding among nations. He presents this Congress as an “orbis Statio” — a kind of world station of peoples around the Eucharist — and expresses the hope that it will yield enduring spiritual benefits and social peace for all nations redeemed by Christ’s Blood.
Already in this short document, stripped of pious varnish, we see the program of the conciliar sect in nuce: a sentimental, horizontal, media-spectacle “Eucharistic” religiosity instrumentalized to serve humanistic pacifism and inter-national fraternization, with no mention of sin, conversion, doctrinal combat, or the social Kingship of Christ in the integral Catholic sense taught consistently until 1958.
Proximo mense Augusto (1960.07.05)
On 5 July 1960, John XXIII issues a Latin congratulatory letter to Joseph Frings, celebrating the approaching 50th anniversary of his priestly ordination. The text enumerates Frings’ alleged natural virtues and pastoral merits: social sensitivity, organizational achievements in Cologne, international charitable initiatives, and his professed attachment to the Roman See, crowned by a gift of technical equipment for Vatican Radio so that the “voice” of Rome might better reach the world. The tone is uncritical eulogy, glorifying both the recipient and the new orientation of the structures occupying the Vatican.
