Bergomensem inter (1958.12.10)
The Latin text published under the name of John XXIII, dated 10 December 1958, is a brief decree by which the conciliar usurper purports to elevate the parish church in Somasca, dedicated to St Bartholomew the Apostle and St Jerome Emiliani, to the title and privileges of a minor basilica. It rehearses historical ties between Venice and Bergamo, recalls the sanctity of Jerome Emiliani, notes the translation of his relics and the growth of pilgrimages, mentions the involvement of St Charles Borromeo and later prelates, and solemnly declares—“with certain knowledge and mature deliberation” and “by the fullness of Apostolic power”—the conferral of basilica status, annulling any contrary dispositions.
This seemingly modest act of cultic promotion is in reality a juridical and theological masquerade: an usurper, already the standard-bearer of the conciliar revolution, parasitically clothes his illegitimate authority in the language, saints, and devotions of the true Church in order to normalize an apostate regime.
Fortiter suaviterque (1958.12.10)
Ad perpetuam confusionem erroris.
The text bearing the title “Fortiter suaviterque” is a Latin apostolic letter attributed to John XXIII, by which he confers the title and privileges of Minor Basilica upon the Marian shrine of Beata Maria Virgo Nemorensis (“Madonna del Bosco”) in Imbersago, in the Archdiocese of Milan. The document is brief, sentimental, and juridical in form: it recalls his youthful Marian devotion to this sanctuary, enumerates its aesthetic and devotional qualities, and then, “motu proprio” and by supposed apostolic authority, elevates the church to the status of Basilica Minor with all attached rights and privileges, declaring all contrary dispositions null.
Mirabilis ille (1963.01.06)
The letter “Mirabilis ille,” dated 6 January 1963, is John XXIII’s Epiphany message to all bishops and other “Fathers” of the so‑called Second Vatican Council. It recalls with pathos the “wonderful assembly” of bishops in St Peter’s, insists that the Council is to be seen as continually in progress even between its sessions, establishes a new commission of “cardinals” to coordinate conciliar work, exhorts bishops to collaborate through correspondence and local initiatives, urges clergy and laity to pray and engage for the Council’s success, highlights the presence and goodwill of non-Catholic observers, and universalizes the Council’s horizon as an instrument for peace, unity, and the good of all humanity. Under a veil of pious citations and rhetorical unction, the text programmatically shifts the axis of the Church from the immutable reign of Christ the King and the defense of dogma to a horizontal, diplomatic, media-conscious “event,” in which authority is functionally democratized and truth is relativized to “the whole human family.”
Franciscales and the Cult of Relics in the Conciliar Captivity (1963.01.16)
The text is a Latin letter issued in January 1963 by John XXIII to Basil Heiser, General Minister of the Conventual Franciscans, on the 700th anniversary of the translation of the relics of St Anthony of Padua to the basilica bearing his name. It offers rhetorical praise of St Anthony’s sanctity, preaching, miracles, and charity, urges the Franciscan “Family” to imitate his prayer, doctrine and works of mercy, links the celebrations to the then-ongoing Second Vatican Council, and imparts an “apostolic blessing.” From the standpoint of integral Catholic doctrine, this apparently pious tribute functions as a subtle legitimation of the conciliar revolution through the instrumentalization of a true saint to adorn the authority of an usurping antipope and his neo-church.
