Octogesimum mox (1963.02.24)
Without any doctrinal pretext, the letter of John XXIII (Octogesimum mox, 24 February 1963) to Cicognani is a short panegyric: it congratulates him on his forthcoming 80th birthday, praises his diligence in handling “public affairs of the Church,” recalls his diplomatic and curial services (notably as Apostolic Delegate in the USA and in roles tied to the Eastern Churches and Vatican II), and imparts a blessing. Beneath this apparently innocuous protocolary compliment, however, stands the entire programmatic inversion of the Catholic Church into the conciliar apparatus: the text is a self-revelation of a bureaucracy celebrating itself while the Faith is being dissolved.
Lilium (1962.01.02)
This Latin letter of John XXIII, issued on 2 January 1962 and addressed to Augustin Sépinski, then Minister General of the Order of Friars Minor, praises St. Peter of Alcantara on the fourth centenary of his death, encourages solemn commemorations among Franciscans, extols his austerity, contemplative spirit and collaboration with St. Teresa of Avila, and proposes him as a model of penitence and prayer against the rising “naturalism” of modern society. It urges Franciscans and the faithful to imitate his poverty, mortification, contemplative life, and to root apostolic work in interior life, ending with an “Apostolic Blessing.”
Piae cum certatione (1962.02.19)
Dated 19 February 1962, this Latin letter of John XXIII to Antonio Caggiano, then Buenos Aires hierarch, congratulates him on fifty years of priesthood: it heaps praise on his diocesan administration in Rosario, his organizational skills, his role in Catholic Action, “social action,” Eucharistic and Marian congresses, and a so‑called “great holy mission,” and it grants him the faculty to impart a plenary indulgence on the faithful on an appointed day.
Sanctitatis altrix (1962.02.27)
The letter “Sanctitatis altrix” of John XXIII, addressed to Malcolm Lavelle of the Passionists on the centenary of the death of St. Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows, is an apparently pious exhortation: it praises the Church as “nurturer of holiness,” extols St. Gabriel’s youthful virtue, his detachment from the world, his Marian devotion, his penance and joy, and proposes him as a model for youth, clergy, families, and the Passionist Congregation, with a final linkage between his example and the coming Second Vatican Council as a hope for “rich fruits.” Beneath this devotional surface, the text functions as a spiritual anesthetic: it instrumentalizes a true saint of pre-conciliar Catholicism to baptize the conciliar revolution and to mask, with sentimental rhetoric, the emerging apostasy of the conciliar sect.
