Allocutio Ioannis XXIII (1959.04.07) Ciceronian Humanism Against the Kingship of Christ
The text is a brief allocution by John XXIII to participants of an international Ciceronian congress in Rome (April 7, 1959). He courteously praises their dedication to Cicero and classical Latin, deplores the neglect of such studies in a technocratic age, extols ancient wisdom as a noble preparation for higher things, and cites Augustine’s praise of Cicero’s “Hortensius” as an example of moral elevation through classical reading. He concludes with paternal good wishes.
Allocutio Ioannis XXIII ad Universitates Catholicas (1959.04.01)
John XXIII’s 1 April 1959 allocution to the leaders and delegates of the Federation of Catholic Universities is a brief address that: warmly flatters their academic mission; praises their international coordination as a force for “truth” in civil society; urges them to combat materialism; insists on the search for unity of knowledge grounded in philosophy, theology, and in Christ; and explicitly links their work to his project of convening an “ecumenical council,” presented as a spectacle of unity meant to invite “separated brethren” back to the fold under the primacy of Peter. In other words, beneath its pious citations and Augustinian ornaments, this text is the programmatic sketch of a new, diplomatic, humanistic religion in which universities and a coming council become instruments for restructuring doctrine under the banner of irenic “unity,” preparatory to the conciliar revolution that would enthrone man in place of Christ the King.
Allocutio ad Gregorianam: Manifesto of the Conciliar Intellectual Revolution (1959.01.18)
On 18 January 1959, in the Great Hall of the Pontifical Gregorian University, John XXIII delivered an allocution praising the institution as a privileged center of ecclesiastical science, exalting its title “Pontifical University Gregorian,” extolling its universality, its historical roots in Gregory XIII and the Jesuits, and its role in forming heralds of Christ’s kingdom adapted to the needs of the time. He weaves together Petrine symbolism, academic expansion, international composition, post‑Tridentine glory, and modern pastoral optimism to confirm and bless the Gregorian’s mission as a premier organ of Roman teaching authority.
Allocutio Ioannis XXIII Inaugurating the Conciliar Oligarchy (1958.12.15)
John XXIII’s “secret consistory” allocution of December 15, 1958, outwardly presents itself as a pious, ceremonial address: gratitude for congratulations on his “election,” sentimental references to the “universal Christian community,” mention of persecutions in China, an expression of sorrow for illicit consecrations, and, most substantially, the creation of twenty-three new “cardinals,” including Giovanni Battista Montini and other future protagonists of the conciliar revolution. Behind this ornate facade stands the programmatic consolidation of a new regime: a sentimental humanistic papacy that instrumentalizes genuine sufferings (China) while carefully preparing the structural apparatus that will soon overthrow in practice the social Kingship of Christ, doctrine, worship, and discipline defined infallibly before 1958.
