Praeclarissimum (1960.04.07)
The document, issued by antipope John XXIII in 1960, grants the parish church of St Dominic in Arezzo the title and juridical privileges of a minor basilica, extolling its Gothic-Romanesque architecture, its works of art (notably the Crucifix attributed to Cimabue), its historical association with Innocent V, and the care of the Dominican community for sacred rites and fostering vocations; with solemn juridical formulae, it decrees the elevation of the church and confirms the perpetuity and validity of this concession. In reality, beneath the polished curial Latin, we face a typical act of the nascent conciliar sect, which instrumentalizes traditional forms to mask the usurpation of authority and to habituate the faithful to accept a counterfeit magisterium.
Beatum Ioseph (1960.04.07)
The document issued by John XXIII on 7 April 1960, entitled “Beatum Ioseph,” purports to confirm Saint Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary, as the principal heavenly patron of the diocese of Cúcuta. In brief, it recites the pious motives, notes the petition of Paulus Correa León, then “bishop” of Cúcuta, and, invoking “apostolic authority,” declares Saint Joseph patron with the usual liturgical honors attached to such a title.
Religio bonaeque (1960.03.16)
Francesco Roncalli, styling himself “Ioannes PP. XXIII,” issues in this brief Latin rescript the nomination of the sitting Archbishop of Milan “pro tempore” as Patron of the Biblioteca Ambrosiana. The document praises Cardinal Federico Borromeo’s founding of the Ambrosiana as a centre for sacred and humane letters, extols the Roman See as benefactress of higher culture, recalls Paul V’s provision that the Milan archbishop vigilantly visit the library, and then decrees in perpetuity that the Archbishop of Milan shall be its Patron, nullifying all contrary dispositions.
Apostolici muneris (1960.03.01)
The document under review, promulgated by John XXIII on 1 March 1960 under the title “Apostolici muneris,” decrees the erection of an Apostolic Delegation “in Scandia” for Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland, with its seat in Copenhagen. It presents this act as a pastoral measure to strengthen “the Christian name” and to promote “the true religion” by a diplomatic and administrative presence representing the “See of Peter” in those lands separated from Catholic unity.
