What was the fate of Pope St. Pius X's anti-modernist program under della Chiesa (B-XV)?

How quickly was Pope St. Pius X's Secretary of State, the magnificent and genuinely Catholic Rafael Cardinal Merry Del Val purged from significant authority by della Chiesa who was apparently still smarting from St. Pius X's selection of Del Val over della Chiesa?

Pope St. John Paul II appointed McPhony to Los Angeles and made him a cardinal and that did not make JP II a homosexual abuser of seminarians. He appointed the execrable Joseph Bernardin to Chicago without himself having a "social life" leading to death by AIDS and Kaposi's sarcoma.

That Pope St. Pius X made mistakes in appointing the likes of della Chiesa more likely reflects della Chiesa's sly capabilities for hiding the reality of della Chiesa to ease his climb beyond his (minimal) level of competence. His conclave owed a lot more to the Church and the world than the sorry likes of della Chiesa who frittered away his WWI era papacy (and a lot of papal credibility) delivering whimpering flapdoodle and tears for "peace in our time" (the bait) and for the political UNIFICATION OF EUROPE and the advancement of Modernism against the chains forged by Pope St. Pius X (the switch). della Chiesa made the Church safe (for a time) for the oh, sooooo sensitive and pseudointellectual airheads who regard speculation for its own sake as an adequate substitute for actual Catholicism.

In fact, given the context of his times, della Chiesa was an early Franky I. They are the worst examples of popes in the last 100 years. Neither John XXIII nor Paul VI were heroes but, at their worst, the were NEVER as bad as della Chiesa or Bergoglio. As with della Chiesa, the rule of error of Bergoglio, our current interregnum, will be relatively brief. The smoke of satan again surrounds our altars (Paul VI) and God will not long tolerate that. Somewhere out there is a young, healthy, utterly orthodox, firebrand of a prelate who will be chosen by the next conclave to erase Bergoglio's reign of error. Please Lord, ASAP.

Do YOU have evidence that della Chiesa had ANY credential to claim to be a worthy pontiff or even notably Catholic?

Hence arose the monstrous errors of "Modernism," which Our Predecessor rightly declared to be "the synthesis of all heresies," and solemnly condemned. We hereby renew that condemnation in all its fulness, Venerable Brethren, and as the plague is not yet entirely stamped out, but lurks here and there in hidden places, We exhort all to be carefully here and there in hidden places, We exhort all to be carefully on their guard against any contagion of the evil, to which we may apply the words Job used in other circumstances: "It is a fire that devoureth even to destruction, and rooteth up all things that spring" (Job xxxi. 12). Nor do We merely desire that Catholics should shrink from the errors of Modernism, but also from the tendencies or what is called the spirit of Modernism. - Benedict XV, AD BEATISSIMI APOSTOLORUM, 1914

Hardly a Francis I.

Exactly. Times such as ours are the incubator of saints. Lord God, let it be.
