Grata Recordatio (1959.09.26)
The text under review, issued by antipope John XXIII under the title “Grata Recordatio,” recalls with sentimental warmth the rosary encyclicals of Leo XIII, exhorts the faithful to recite the Marian rosary especially in October, commemorates the death of Pius XII and the election of John XXIII as an alleged sign of continuity of the Roman Pontificate, praises missionary initiatives and a North American seminary, calls political leaders to avoid war and respect “legitimate rights,” condemns laicism and materialism in generic terms, and finally asks for prayers for the “Roman Synod” and the upcoming “ecumenical council,” presented as a source of renewal and growth of the “Church.” Beneath this apparently pious Marian varnish, the document functions as a programmatic prelude to the conciliar revolution: it uses orthodox forms to introduce a new ecclesiology, a humanistic pacifism, and a deceptive claim of continuity that prepares the self-destruction of the visible Church.
Sacerdotii Nostri Primordia (1959.08.01)
The document under review is the Latin encyclical “Sacerdotii Nostri Primordia” (1 August 1959), issued by the usurper antipope John XXIII to commemorate the centenary of the death of St. John Mary Vianney. It praises the Curé of Ars as a model of priestly asceticism, poverty, chastity, obedience, Eucharistic devotion, prayer, and pastoral zeal, and exhorts clergy worldwide to imitate his virtues, stressing continual prayer, sacramental ministry (especially confession), catechesis, and personal holiness as the foundation of apostolic fruitfulness. Beneath the apparently edifying homage, the text functions as a pious cosmetic veil preparing and legitimizing the impending conciliar revolution by selectively appropriating pre-1958 doctrine while silently relocating the center of gravity from the immutable Roman Faith to a new anthropocentric, conciliatory, and ultimately modernist vision of priesthood and Church.
Ad Petri cathedram (1959.06.29)
Ad Petri cathedram, the first encyclical of John XXIII, outlines three main themes: “truth,” “unity,” and “peace,” presented as the programmatic framework for his reign and for the announced “ecumenical council,” canonical reform, and global outreach. Beneath a superficially pious language and selective citations of prior popes, it subtly redefines truth into a common denominator accessible to all, dilutes the obligation of conversion, transforms ecclesial unity into an invitation to horizontal reconciliation, and portrays peace as a naturalistic consensus among nations and classes—thus serving as a manifesto of the conciliar revolution and a direct prelude to the systematic demolition of integral Catholic doctrine.
Allocutio Ioannis XXIII ad Canonicos Regulares (1959.05.26)
In this brief allocution of 26 May 1959, Angelo Roncalli (John XXIII) addresses the Canons Regular of St Augustine on the occasion of the federation of their four congregations, recalling Nicholas II’s confirmation of their institute, invoking the memory of St George in Alga with its “two splendid lights” Eugenius IV and St Lawrence Giustiniani, commending their Augustinian heritage, and exhorting them to unity, charity, and fervour in religious observance under their newly constituted federation and primatial abbot.
