LA IOANNES PP. XXIII (1960.06.27)
Monachium is presented here as the proud, cultured, Eucharistic centre of Bavaria, chosen to host an “international Eucharistic congress,” and the author appoints Cardinal Testa as his legate to preside in his name. The letter exalts the Blessed Sacrament as sign and cause of unity, compares the congress to a global “station” of prayer for the world, links it programmatically with the announced “ecumenical council,” and urges supplications for social order, moral life, and diffusion of “Christ’s religion” across the world. It culminates in a solemn blessing over the city, the congress, and all participants, as an anticipated triumph of a supposedly “orthodox” faith radiating from a modernist occupation of Rome.
Si religiosae (1960.06.25)
The Latin text presents John XXIII’s congratulatory letter to Aloisius Iosephus Muench on the fifth anniversary of his episcopal consecration, praising his “charity” toward workers, his expertise in social questions, his leadership of the “National Catholic Rural Conference,” his role as Apostolic Visitor and Nuncio in post-war Germany, and finally his service in the Roman Curia, crowned by the red hat. It is a compact eulogy of a functionary whose merit is defined almost exclusively by sociological activity, diplomatic usefulness, and alignment with a new humanistic agenda, wrapped in pious phrases and a Psalm verse.
A A A LA IOANNES PP. XXIII (1960.06.13)
Ioannes XXIII’s Latin letter “Mox quinquagesima” congratulates Ernesto Ruffini on the fiftieth anniversary of his priestly ordination, praising his work in Roman institutions, his role in priestly formation, his administration of the Archdiocese of Palermo, and granting him, on this occasion, the faculty to impart a blessing with a plenary indulgence to the faithful.
Alacre pietatis (1960.05.05)
In this brief Latin letter, John XXIII addresses Bishop Beniamino Ubaldi of Gubbio on the 8th centenary of the death of St. Ubaldo, praising the city’s traditional devotion to its heavenly patron, commending the planned celebrations, and exhorting the faithful—very generically—to imitate the saint’s virtues, renew Christian life, and trust in his intercession, concluding with an “Apostolic Blessing.” Behind this apparently harmless rhetoric stands the subtle inauguration of a new cult of sentimentality and civic religiosity, designed to cloak the conciliar revolution with a veneer of tradition while evacuating the Faith of its doctrinal sharpness and social kingship of Christ.
