Yes, but not one post-conicilar pope was caononized a century or more after his death.

The whole process has now been a canonization of the bastard council itself.

I don't disagree. Especially when consider some of the Popes between Pope St. Pius V and Pope Saint Pius X.

Pope Pius IX and Pope Leo XIII had a lot on their plates and handled it very well, and more importantly, displayed virtue and holiness in their lives.
