Saeculo exeunte
''Saeculo exeunte'' is an encyclical of Pope Pius XII in which he honors Portugal at the celebration of its 800th anniversary. A large part of the encyclical deals with the missionary activities of Portugal and the need to modernize missionary work. It was given at Rome, June 13, 1940, in the second year of his Pontificate.
==Summary ==
The Pontiff reviews Portuguese history, mentioning among others explorers like Henry the Navigator and Vasco Da Gama, who took missionaries along while making discoveries: Their illustrious example greatly inspired the Catholic world, including the spirited citizens of your fatherland, to promote more widely the works of the apostolate. 〔''Saeculo exeunte'', 7〕 Alphonsus of Albuquerque and John de Castro governed the Portuguese colonies, giving protection and assistance to the Catholic missionaries. 〔''Saeculo exeunte'', 10〕
But now there is a shortage of missionary priests especially in Africa. The pope recommends missionary societies such as ''Portuguese Society for the Promotion of the Catholic Foreign Missions,'' in order to improve the quality of preparation and training and interaction among clergy in missions. The selection of decent candidates is of special concern to Pius XII, who suggests that only persons with perfect character aptitudes should be sent.〔''Saeculo exeunte'', 30-35〕 He appeals to the people of Portugal, to support their missionaries generously. He entrusts them and all of Portugal to the protection of Our Lady of Fatima,〔''Saeculo exeunte'', 52〕 who, as Pius XII said in a radio address, may have aided in keeping Portugal out of World War II .
