"It's no surprise that the trads aren't opposed"

It's even less of a surprise that modernists managed to get John XIII beatified....

This contribution is not an attempt to make a definitive judgment on so weighty a matter

But now the Church has judged, and judged well.

Nevertheless, with the opinion of higher probability having been supposed because beatification is not a judgment concerning the sanctity of some man, but only a permission that he can be revered and venerated publicly, I judge that the pontiff cannot err practically in such beatification, so he is temarious and scandalous, who refuses such honor, or does not affirm that such worship must be tendered. (John of St. Thomas, II-II, q. 1 to 7; disp. 3, a. 2, no. 19)

John Paul II also beatified Pius IX, an acknowledged kidnapper.
