19345345San Antonio Tx: Incarnate Word 1934. Good. 4pp. Folio. Previously folded with some separation at fore-edge from central horizontal fold. Chipping at edges affecting some text at corners and fore-edge. Browned and a somewhat brittle. A scarce diatribe against the secular Mexican government issued by Leopoldo Ruiz the Archbishop of Morelia from the safety of the Catholic University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio during late 1934. The text demonstrates the ongoing tensions and conflict between religious and government authorities in Mexico following the Cristero War in the late 1920s the period of greatest violence between the two sides after the adoption of the Constitution of 1917. Ruiz was Pope Pius XI's direct representative in negotiations with the Mexican government to resolve their disagreements but such was the animus of the parties that he was exiled in 1932 after which he settled in San Antonio whence he published this screed addressed to the "bishopry clergy and Catholics of Mexico" in which accused the government of "revolutionary Socialism" that obligated the dutiful opposition of the Church. A very scarce San Antonio Spanish-language imprint; OCLC locates only a pair of microfiched copies of this text at Emory and BYU with the origin of the original unclear. Incarnate Word unknown

1960List3032Ciudad Juárez Mexico 1960. Scrapbook in album with string binding; twenty-two double-sided pages measuring 9 ¾ x 12 ¼ inches with some items not affixed. Pages delicate with marginal damage; items very good plus to excellent. Overall very good plus. A scrapbook containing photographs sacramental cards programs and clippings relating to various church functions at the Catedral de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe in Ciudad Juárez Mexico between the 1930s and 1960s. The church was built next to the original Franciscan mission built im the mid-1600s. Most of the events are various years’ feasts of St. Francis and of Our Lady of the Angels of Portiuncula as the parish is Franciscan. Many of its parishioners seem to have been members of the Third Order of St. Francis; one photograph shows a number of men women and children wearing the scapular and cord of the Order posed around the church’s Monseñor Baudelio Pelayo. Other photos show a festival for the children the priest receiving a medal and a retreat at Senecú a small village outside Juárez. Clippings and flyers concern various Franciscan conferences and a visit to Juárez by Franciscan leader Augustin-Joseph Sépinski. unknown
18472345Mexico City: November 17 1847. About very good. Broadside approximately 12 x 8.5 inches. Previously folded two small tape repairs on blank verso. Small chip at upper left corner. Contemporary manuscript rubrics. Light toning and dust soiling. This scarce order was issued by the Archbishop of Mexico two months after the capture of Mexico City by the United States Army. It contains six articles that detail instructions for administering the last rites and orders for several other difficult matters in the occupied city. The extreme unction is to be performed secretly only in the mornings and at night unless the physician believes it is not possible to wait and further instructions are given on how to proceed secretly but properly with the ritual. The fifth article states that that if the American troops insult the residents the clergy should try to restore calm to obtain assistance from the local guards and to inform the American garrison commanders. The final article states that parish priests should "Proceder con la mayor prudencia y usar de los medios y vias mas suaves á fin de evitar toda clase de disturbios." An interesting reflection of the official fear of American distaste for Catholicism; we locate only one example at Yale. November 17 unknown
18564156Mexico City: Imprenta de M. Murguia 1856. Good plus. 28pp. Original printed wrappers stitched. Paper reinforcement on blank verso of front wrapper. Some edge wear; moderate dust soiling and toning. Scarce plea by the inhabitants of Zamora directed to the Constituent Congress asking it not to allow in the Republic the freedom of worship proposed mid-1850s revision of the Mexican Constitution. The liberal constitution re-established a parliamentary federal government and formally enshrined the abolition of slavery and important civil rights but it also ended Catholicism as the official religion of Mexico and sought to remove much of the Church's power by establishing secular public education forcing the sale of church property and ending its legal privileges under the guise of freedom of religion. The petition which was written in response to the appearance of the proposed reform in a local newspaper begs the congress to preserve "la religion de sus padres" and recites a veritable litany of historical societal and cultural contributions of the Catholic Church to Mexico. The document is signed in print by hundreds of Zamora residents. Tensions over the role of Catholicism in Mexico and many other reforms effected by the Constitution of 1857 eventually led to the outbreak of the Reform War in 1858. Published in attractive printed wrappers; we locate an example only at the Bibliotheca Nacional de España. Imprenta de M. Murguia unknown
1649004150Antwerp: Iacobum Meursium 1649. New Editions. Hardcover. Very Good. Folio. full pigskin embossed covers with impressed Jesuit insignia; ex libris St. Ignatius College Chicago; lacks the clasps numerals on spine tight. <br/><br/>Book 2 is 1650; Book 3 is 1649. Lapide wrote commentaries on all of the books of the Old Testament with the possible exception of two. "All these commentaries are on a very large scale. They explain not only the literal but also the allegorical tropological and anagogical sense of the sacred text and furnish a larg number of quotations from the Fathers and the later interpreters of Holy Writ during the Middle Ages. . Lapide intended to serve not only the historical and scientific study of the Bible but even more the purposes of pious meditation and especially of pulpit exposition. . His numerous editions show ho highly these works are estimated by Catholics. But Protestant voices have joined in the appreciation. G. H. Goetzius Leipzig 1699 wrote an academical dissertation . in which he praises the Jesuit author as THE MOST IMPORTANT OF CATHOLIC SCRIPTURAL WRITERS emphasis added - THE CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA."
