...encouragement. Ad Petri Cathedram (To the Chair of Peter), the circular letter's opening words by which it will be known, is neither a trail-blazing social document (like Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum in 1891) nor a detailed doctrinal exposition (like Pius XII's Humani Generis in 1950). It is instead notable for the familiarity of its style, the range of its concern and the warmth with which it faces its subject: On Promoting-Under the Impulse of Charity-Truth, Unity and Peace...
...spectacularly stiffened the fabric of faith by promulgating the ancient dogma of the Virgin Mary's bodily assumption into Heaven (in doing so he was the first Pope in history to make such public exercise of the 1870 dogma of papal infallibility). In 1950 in the encyclical Humani Generis he cracked down hard on Catholic teachers, priests and philosophers whose speculations might carry them away from the dogmas of -the church and the formal system of thought laid down by St. Thomas Aquinas. ¶ NATIONALISM.

...Catholic dogma of the Assumption "as increasing division among Christians, and that over a point of doctrine which is in no way directly related to the Gospel and is quite irrelevant to the saving of men to Christ." He added an attack on the recent papal encyclical Humani Generis (TIME, Sept. 4) for "statements and arguments so far removed from the conception of Christian truth held outside the Roman Church that their publication and enforcement cannot but increase the isolation of that communion and must make any approach to understanding more difficult . . . The Roman Church takes its own line...
