II LITTERAE DECRETALES quibus beato Ioanni Didaco Cuauhtlatoatzin Sanctorum honores decernuntur IOANNES PAULUS PP. II Ad perpetuam rei memoriam. — « Exaltavit humiles » (Lc 1, 52). Dei Patris contuitus ad humilem indigenam Mexicanum se convertit, nempe Ioannem Didacum, quem dono ditavit in Christo renascendi, beatae Mariae Virginis vultum contemplandi et sociatam praestandi operam pro Americanae Continentis evangelizatione. Ex quo aperte eruitur quam vera sint verba quibus Apostolus Paulus divinam edocet methodum salutem per- agendi: « Ignobilia mundi et contemptibilia elegit Deus, quae non sunt, ut ea, quae sunt, destrueret, ut non glorietur omnis caro in conspectu Dei » (1 Cor 1,28-29). Hic beatus, cui traditum nomen est Cuauhtlatoatzin, quod « aquila loquens » sibi vult, anno circiter mcdlxxiv in loco Cuauhtitlan natus est, apud regnum vulgo Texcoco. Adultus cum sit et matrimonio iunctus, amplexus est Evangelium et una cum uxore baptismali aqua est ablutus, sibi proponens vivere sub lumine fidei et secundum obligationes coram Deo et Ecclesia assumptas. Mense Decembri anno mdxxxi, cum iter faceret ad locum Tlate- lolco, in colle qui Tepeyac appellatur, apparentem sibi vidit veram Dei Ma- trem, quae mandavit illi ut ab episcopo Mexicano peteret templum in loco apparitionis aedificari. Sacer praesul, attentis indigenae instantiis, eviden- tem miri eventus probationem ab illo requisivit. Die xii mensis Decembris beatissima Virgo Maria Ioanni Didaco conspiciendam rursus se dedit, eum solamine affecit et iussit ut in fastigium collis Tepeyac se conferret, ibi flores colligeret et referret.

One of the corrosive effects of such an “immediate” world is the loss of a sense of history. That sense has nothing to do with the sense of nostalgia for better times in the past – in the Church and across societies. It is the sad outcome of a failure in many education systems around the world to properly value the study of history. Massimo Faggioli is one significant remedy to that deficiency as far as the Catholic Church is concerned. Catholic History and Law A helpful comparison is found by comparing the Church and its evolution to the establishment and growth of the rule of law because a thorough grasp of history is important to understanding good legal practice and the value and the circumstances within which a statute is created by legislatures and courts. As any lawyer worth talking to will tell you, laws are created to remedy an abuse. What is the abuse? All offences are against a deeply held value. A crime is an abuse of a value.
