A A A LA IOANNES PP. XXIII (1959.02.24)
The letter under review, issued by antipope John XXIII on February 24, 1959 and addressed to Cardinal Elia Dalla Costa, commemorates the fifth centenary of the death of Saint Antoninus of Florence. It extols Antoninus’s personal holiness, austerity, doctrinal writings, Marian devotion, and pastoral zeal, urging the Florentine clergy and faithful to imitate his virtues and to let this jubilee produce spiritual fruits in the archdiocese.
Exeunte Iubilari (1959.01.31)
Dated January 31, 1959, this Latin letter of John XXIII designates Gregory Peter Agagianian, then Armenian Patriarch and head of the Congregation of Propaganda Fide, as papal legate to preside over a Marian Congress in Saigon, linked to the Lourdes apparitions and enriched with plenary indulgences for the faithful of Vietnam, praising confidence in the Immaculate and promising spiritual benefits under his name and authority. The entire text, though wrapped in pious language, is a strategic consolidation of the nascent conciliar revolution: a sentimental Marian scenery masking the authority-void usurpation of the Apostolic See and conditioning the faithful to accept a new, pseudo-Catholic cult built on apparitionism, psychologized devotion, and papal personality rather than the immutable faith of the Church.
Certiores quidem (1959.01.29)
This Latin letter, dated January 29, 1959, is addressed by John XXIII to Francis Spellman, appointing him papal legate to a regional Eucharistic Congress in Guatemala for Central American nations. It praises Spellman’s status and reputation, entrusts him to preside in the name and “authority” of John XXIII, and outlines themes to be treated at the Congress: the “utility” of the Most Holy Eucharist for domestic concord, youth education, harmonious collaboration of social classes, perfection of the human person, and the tranquillity and prosperity of the state, invoking the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin and imparting an “apostolic blessing” to ecclesiastical and civil authorities and participants.
It is a short document, but it concentrates in miniature the entire conciliar-program: the reduction of the Eucharist to an instrument of natural concord and social progress, the inflation of a compromised hierarchy, and the preparatory liturgical and doctrinal language that will soon be codified in the revolution of Vatican II.
Animo Nostro (1959.01.25)
In this Latin letter of 25 January 1959, John XXIII addresses the vicars apostolic of Vietnam on the occasion of a Marian gathering in Saigon: he praises their plan to close the Lourdes centenary celebrations, commemorate three centuries since the establishment of the first apostolic vicariates in Vietnam, extols Marian devotion (notably Lourdes), lauds the growth of local hierarchy and clergy, emphasizes fidelity to the Roman Pontiff, and announces Gregory Peter Agagianian as his legate to the celebrations, crowning everything with his “Apostolic Blessing.” The entire text, under a veil of pious rhetoric, consolidates the cult of a problematic apparition, instrumentalizes true missions for a new ecclesiology, and binds the Vietnamese faithful to the nascent conciliar revolution, thus transforming an ostensibly devotional exhortation into a subtle charter of the coming neo-church in Asia.
