We now see, with true sorrow, that society is now much more depraved and
corrupt than before, and that the so-called "social question" has
been aggravating to such an extent as to create the threat of irreparable ruin.
… World Government will no longer acknowledge the authority of the father over
his children, or of the public power over the citizens, or of God over human
society. All things which, if implemented, would lead to terrible social
convulsions, like those which are already happening… We, therefore, concerned
most of all by the course of these events … remind those on Our side, who earn
their bread by their work, to save them from socialism, the sworn enemy of
Christian principles, with great solicitude recommend them in particular to St.
Joseph, to follow him as their guide and to receive the special honor of his
heavenly patronage.
...We, full of confidence in the patronage of the one to whose provident
supervision God was pleased to entrust the custody of his only-begotten
Incarnate Son, and the Virgin Mother of God, we earnestly exhort all the
Bishops of the Catholic world that, in times so turbulent for Christianity, to
induce the faithful to pray with greater commitment for valuable help of St.
Joseph. And since there are several ways approved by the Apostolic See with
whom you can venerate the Holy Patriarch, especially every Wednesday throughout
the year and month consecrated to Him, We want, for every Bishop to heed these
requests - that all these devotions, as much as possible, are practiced in
every diocese.
