A A A ES – LA IOANNES PP. XXIII EPISTULA… GRATULAMUR (1962.03.20)
The letter “Gratulamur” of 20 March 1962, issued by John XXIII to Cardinal Gerlier of Lyon, praises Lyon as host of the first worldwide missionary congress, extols its ancient martyrs and the figure of Pauline Jaricot, and encourages renewed commitment to the Pontifical Society for the Propagation of the Faith and to “missionary” activity adapted to “changed times,” coordinated, centralized and explicitly detached from political conditions, in the name of a universal, supra-national ecclesial action.
Gratiarum actio (1962.03.27)
This Latin letter of John XXIII to Otmar Degryse, superior general of the Congregation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (CICM), marks the centenary of that missionary institute by praising its rapid expansion, extolling its labor in numerous countries (especially in China), honoring its sufferings and martyrs, and imparting an “Apostolic Blessing” with the hope of renewed access to the Chinese mission fields and greater diffusion of the Gospel under Mary’s patronage. Its sugary exaltation of a missionary institute serves as a pious veil for the emerging conciliar revolution, substituting sentimental rhetoric and geopolitical accommodation for the clear, unbending proclamation of the Kingship of Christ and the exclusive claims of the Catholic Church.
Laeti laetum (1962.04.05)
In this Latin letter, antipope John XXIII congratulates Cardinal Carlos Maria de la Torre, archbishop of Quito, on the fiftieth anniversary of his episcopal consecration, recalling his nomination by Pope St. Pius X, praising his pastoral zeal, his defense of ecclesiastical rights, promotion of Catholic Action and social initiatives, foundation of schools and the Catholic University in Quito, and granting him the faculty to impart a plenary indulgence on this jubilee. Behind this apparently benign and deferential homage to an aged prelate stands the calculated instrumentalization of pre-1958 Catholic authority and names—above all Pius X—to legitimize the conciliar revolution and cloak its architects with the vestments of Tradition.
Omnes sane (1962.04.15)
This Latin circular letter, issued by antipope John XXIII on 15 April 1962, is addressed individually to all residential bishops in view of the imminent opening of Vatican II. It exhorts them to intensified prayer for the Council, to personal holiness, to confidence in divine grace amid pastoral burdens, and to Eucharistic and spiritual devotion, while praising their unity, zeal, and preparation for the coming assembly. Beneath its courteous tone, the text canonizes a new ecclesial consciousness ordered toward the conciliar revolution, subtly redefining episcopal holiness as enthusiastic collaboration with an event destined to mutilate the visible structures of the Church and enthrone the cult of man in place of the social Kingship of Christ.
