.
The announcement of the imminent beatification of Pius IX was made public at the same time as the plan to beatify John XXIII.
.
It came at a time when it was evident, that what Newrome was trying to do, was to garner the tolerance of traditional Catholics.
.
It was then evident that all Newrome really wanted was to push "Good Pope John's" cause, but that was a problem.
.
Because they knew that if they tried to do that, there would be an eruption of dissent by conservatives.
.
Therefore, in order to quell the mob in advance, they would put the two together, John would ride on the coat tails of Pius IX!
.
They knew that trads would not be opposed to Pius IX because of the Syllabus of Errors, Vat.I, and the dogma of the Immaculate Conception!
.
They took a gamble, basically, that if there was opposition, Newrome could respond with, "What, you don't want Pius IX beatified?"
.
They could embark on a whole decade of complaining that so-called traditional Catholics are opposed to the Immaculate Conception dogma.
.
And they could develop a litany of excuses including how trads are now complaining that the Syllabus of Errors was a bad thing to have.
