Studium et cultus (1959.11.27)
The Latin text issued under the name of John XXIII on 27 November 1959 declares that the local Marian devotion to Our Lady “de la Cabeza” in the Spanish diocese of Jaén, long practiced at the mountaintop sanctuary and associated with a medieval image and popular pilgrimages, is elevated so that Mary under this title, together with St Euphrasius, is confirmed and constituted as principal heavenly patroness of the entire diocese, with corresponding liturgical honors and privileges; it rehearses the history of the image, its coronation, the loss of the crown during the Spanish Civil War, and the plan to replace it with a richer diadem, and then solemnly legislates this patronal status with the typical juridical formulas.
Maiora in dies (1959.12.08)
At first glance this motu proprio of John XXIII, “Maiora in dies,” appears as a pious administrative act: it praises the growth of Marian devotion, recalls Pius XII’s Munificentissimus Deus, commends the scientific and historical-critical study of Mariology, and elevates the Academia Mariana Internationalis to the rank of Pontifical Academy, under norms meant to avoid both exaggeration and minimization of Marian doctrine, and to foster coordination of international Mariological congresses in honour of Our Lord and His Blessed Mother.
Haeret animis (1958.11.20)
The document under review is a brief Latin apostolic letter, dated 20 November 1958 and ascribed to John XXIII, in which he “confirms and declares” the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title “Nossa Senhora da Piedade” as the “principal heavenly Patroness” of the civil State of Minas Gerais in Brazil, granting her the liturgical rights accorded to primary patrons, and invoking the supposed fullness of “Apostolic” authority to render this designation perpetually valid and binding. It clothes a seemingly pious Marian act in legal formulas to consolidate ecclesial prestige over a political territory in the very hour when the conciliar revolution is being prepared. In reality, this text is an early, programmatic gesture of the future conciliar sect: a sentimental, juridically hollow exploitation of Marian devotion, severed from the integral doctrine of Christ the King, used to mask the infiltration already denounced by the pre-conciliar Magisterium and to acclimate the faithful to an authority that no longer guards the faith.
INCLITAM DEI GENETRICEM (1958.11.28)
Inclitam Dei Genetricem is a brief Latin letter in which John XXIII, in his first year as claimant to the papacy, confirms and proclaims the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title “from the Most Holy Rosary of Arma” as the principal heavenly patroness of the Diocese of Sonsón in Colombia, granting her all liturgical honors and privileges of a diocesan principal patron. The act appears externally pious and Marian, yet it functions as one of the first juridical-seeming seals by which the conciliar usurper overlays authentic Catholic Marian devotion with the authority of an emerging neo-church, thereby instrumentalizing the Immaculate Virgin as a decorative emblem for a revolution that will soon attack the very foundations of her Son’s Kingship and His true Church.
