Pope John XXIII. (Angelo Guiseppe Roncalli), born on November 25, 1881 in Sotto il Monte, province of Bergamo, began his theological studies in Rome in 1900, where he was ordained a priest in 1904. From 1905 to 1914 he was secretary to his bishop, medical officer and hospital priest during the war, after which he worked as a professor at the seminary in Bergamo. In 1921 Pope Benedict XV appointed him. as President of the Pontifical Work for the Propagation of the Faith in Italy, in 1925 he was made Archbishop and sent to Bulgaria as Apostolic Visitor, appointed Apostolic Delegate in 1931, 1934 Apostolic Delegate for Turkey and Greece, where he found his first contacts with the Eastern Church, from 1944 to Nuncio to France, in 1953 Cardinal and Patriarch of Venice. At the age of 77 he was elected Pope on October 28, 1958. He died on June 3, 1963. Pope John XXIII, whose motto was "Obedience and peace", went new ways. On January 25, 1959, he announced the Second Vatican Council, which began on October 11, 1962. Non-Catholic observers were also able to attend. Highlights in the pontificate John XXIII. are the two great circulars dedicated to the order of society, the renewal of social life in the spirit of Christ and his Gospel; the big social newsletter "Mater et Magistra" and the big peace circular "Pacem in Terris". In his essay "Mater et Magistra," the pope takes social life to its fullest extent and dynamically; he writes in general terms about the most recent developments in social life and its design in the light of Christian doctrine. In the letter "Pacem in Terris," published on April 11, 1963, judging by the title, only one social concern of the present is taken up: "Peace among all peoples in truth, justice, love, and freedom." But those who begin to read are convinced very soon that this main concern is stretched into a very broad framework: the Pope deals with "peace in the heart of each individual," peace from person to person, from state to state, right through to the Peace of the human family.
