A A A ES – Ioannes XXIII Epistula ad Lituaniae Episcopos (1959.12.08)
Venerable Melchior Giedraitis is praised by John XXIII on the 350th anniversary of his death as a model bishop for Lithuania: an apostolic pastor faithful to Trent, defender of Catholic doctrine, founder of parishes, promoter of catechesis, clergy formation, and Eucharistic life, proposed as an exemplar for clergy, parents, and youth amid communist persecution, with a closing appeal for perseverance, Marian devotion (Šiluva), and fidelity to the “Roman Pontiff” and “legitimate hierarchy.” The entire text, while externally recalling authentic Catholic themes, functions as a sophisticated instrument to legitimize the conciliar revolution’s usurped authority and to redirect heroic Catholic fidelity toward the nascent neo-church rather than the immutable Faith of all ages.
Epistula ad Clementem Micara (1959.12.12)
The Latin text presented is a congratulatory letter of John XXIII to Clemente Micara on his approaching eightieth birthday. It heaps praise on Micara’s alleged zeal, prudence, loyalty to the Roman See, his diplomatic service, his work in the Curia, his administration in Velletri, his rebuilding of churches and seminary structures after the war, and his role as Vicar of Rome, culminating in the imparting of an “Apostolic Blessing” upon him and those celebrating with him.
S. PAULUS APOSTOLUS (1959.12.15)
Venerable Caesar D’Amato is here congratulated by antipope John XXIII for preparing celebrations of the 19th centenary of the arrival of Saint Paul in Rome. The text recalls Paul’s desire to see Rome, praises the Roman faithful who went out to meet him, extols Rome’s unique glory as the city of Peter and Paul, and urges solemn ceremonies, scholarly talks, and pious commemorations so that Paul’s doctrine and martyrdom be more deeply known and honoured. It ends with a “blessing” upon all engaged in these observances.
Behind this seemingly devout rhetoric stands a calculated liturgical‑pastoral maneuver: the instrumentalization of Saint Paul to crown the nascent conciliar revolution, replacing the integral faith with an irenic, purely celebratory cult of the Apostle emptied of his doctrinal intransigence and subordinated to a usurped “Petrine” authority in open rupture with Catholic Tradition.
Epistula ad Maurilium (1959.12.16)
John XXIII’s Latin letter to Maurilio Fossati, written on 16 December 1959 for the centenary celebrations of St. Joseph Cafasso, briefly praises the “holiness” of priests, exalts Cafasso as a model of sacerdotal virtue (zeal, counsel, fortitude, charity, work among prisoners and the condemned), commends priestly associations and seminaries inspired by his example, and expresses the wish that such initiatives strengthen clergy and society so that “the law and love of Christ” may protect and purify social life. The entire text appears pious and edifying, yet it functions as a rhetorical veil normalizing the new conciliar project under the sentimental cult of a pre-conciliar saint, while issuing from the very author of the coming revolution.
