About three years ago this Apostolic See was duly informed that some priests, especially among the junior clergy of your dioceses, had founded, without permission from their lawful Superiors, a kind of pseudo-monastic society, known as the Mariavites or Mystic Priests, the members of which, little by little, turned aside from the right road and from the obedience they owe the Bishops "whom the Holy Ghost has placed to rule the Church of God," and became vain in their thoughts.

Tribus circiter abhinc annis huic Apostolicae Sedi rite delatum est nonnullos dioecesium vestrarum, praesertim e iuniori clero, sacerdotes, consociationem quamdam pseudomonasticam, sub nomine Mariavitarum seu sacerdotum mysticorum absque ulla legitimorum Praesulum licentia, instituisse, cuius sodales sensim a recta via debitaque Episcopis subiectione « quos Spiritus Sanctus posuit regere Ecclesiam Dei » deflectere et in suas evanescere cogitationes visi sunt.
