Ah, Pope Pius V. Well, a 21st century Catholic can dream can't he? I'll even take Pope Pius XII happily.

Alexander VI would be better than what we have now. Despite his profound personal corruption there is no doubt he respected doctrine and the Church.

Interesting that yesterday was the Kentucky Derby, May the fifth, and Pope Pius the V stopped horse racing in St. Peter's square. He was " severe and strict, putting sanctions on blasphemy, adultery and sodomy", the very same sins that plague the world today! St. Pius the V, pray for us!

When Jorge "Francis" Bergoglio, that heretical freemason Jesuit mole implanted like a thorny bramble of poison ivy in the vineyard of Rome, says that one does not have to believe in God to achieve salvation or enter the gates of heaven, let us recall the words of Pope Pius X:
"If anyone says that man cannot be raised by God to a knowledge and perfection which surpasses nature, but that he can and should, by his own efforts and by a constant development, attain finally to the possession of all truth and good, let him be anathema." (from the 1907 papal encyclical of Pius X, Pascendi Dominici Gregis

Anathema? What's that?

His glory is found in his standardization of the Mass worldwide. It's that Mass that the modernists of Vatican II abandoned...and that I attend every Sunday. I will once again, as I always do, visit his glass-enclosed remains at St. Mary Major when in Rome in July. St. Pius V, pray for us and intervene on our behalf so that the heretics of today can be cast out and the true faith reign.

So St. Pius V did not convene Trent, but he implemented its decisions and ordered the Roman Catechism in answer to Trent's call for better education of priests.
