A A A LA IOANNES PP. XXIII (1959.02.24)
Florence commemorates the fifth centenary of the holy death of St. Antoninus, Dominican of San Marco and Archbishop of that city, and Giovanni Roncalli (John XXIII) addresses Cardinal Dalla Costa with paternal greetings, praising the virtues, austerities, pastoral zeal, Marian devotion, and doctrinal writings of the saint, urging the clergy and faithful to imitate his example. He cites Gregory the Great on the bishop as exemplar, recalls the praise of Eugenius IV, Adrian VI, Clement VII, and Pius XI, and concludes with an Apostolic Blessing intended to crown the jubilee celebrations with spiritual fruit. This seemingly edifying letter, however, is a paradigmatic exercise in appropriating an authentic pre-modern saint in order to clothe the nascent conciliar revolution with borrowed credibility, while carefully evading the dogmatic edge of St. Antoninus’ theology and of the pre-1958 Magisterium that condemns precisely the humanistic, liberal, and modernist tendencies embodied by Roncalli and the structures that followed him.
Exeunte Iubilari (1959.01.31)
John XXIII’s Latin letter “Exeunte Iubilari,” addressed to Gregorio Pietro Agagianian, concerns the appointment of the Armenian patriarch as papal legate to a Marian Congress in Saigon at the close of the centenary year of the alleged Lourdes apparitions. The text praises Vietnamese bishops for organizing a solemn Marian Congress, extols the supposed fruits of devotion to the Immaculate Virgin, declares that the Lord “willed that we have everything through Mary,” and grants to the legate powers to preside, pontifically celebrate, and bestow a plenary indulgence in the name and by the authority of John XXIII on the attending faithful.
Certiores quidem (1959.01.29)
The document is a Latin letter in which John XXIII appoints Francis Spellman as his legate for a Central American Eucharistic Congress in Guatemala (February 1959). It praises Spellman’s prestige, grants him authority to preside “in our name,” and outlines the Congress’s main themes: how the Most Holy Eucharist serves domestic concord, youth education, social harmony between classes, and the perfection of the human person, all ordered to the tranquillity and prosperity of the republic. The text wraps this program in pious formulas and a Marian invocation, but it instrumentalizes the Eucharist for horizontal, socio-political ends and confirms the usurper’s project of replacing the Kingship of Christ with a sacramentalized humanism.
Animo nostro (1959.01.25)
In this Latin letter of 25 January 1959, John XXIII addresses the apostolic vicars of Vietnam, praising their decision to hold in Saigon a Marian Congress at the close of the Lourdes centenary celebrations and for the tercentenary of the establishment of the first apostolic vicariates in those regions. He extols Vietnamese Catholics’ fidelity, lauds the fruits of the missions, highlights the numerical growth of Catholics and indigenous clergy, expresses paternal solidarity with the faithful in Northern Vietnam suffering difficulties, and appoints Gregory Peter Agagianian as his legate to the celebrations, attaching spiritual favours and his “apostolic blessing.” The entire text, apparently pious and Marian, functions as a subtle manifesto of the nascent conciliar revolution: it instrumentalizes a dubious apparition, glorifies a colonial-missionary model already being emptied from within, silently shifts the axis from the social Kingship of Christ to a pacifist-naturalist rhetoric, and consolidates obedience to a usurped authority in the structures occupying Rome.
