Pius X didn't "later" find 'primary evidence' because he was IN THE CONCLAVE PERSONALLY WHEN THE ALLEGED 'VETO' WAS PLAYED-- 10 YEARS EARLIER.
It might be added that acc to Poncins in Fɾҽҽmαsσɳɾყ & Vatican, Msg Jouin was kind to the point of blindness at times, when it came to his staff. :baby:
Roscoe, it is that Pius X, Card. Merry del Val, and whoever else was involved -- after the election! when Rampolla died in 1913!! -- found AT THAT TIME the evidence in his apartment of Rampolla's being a Mason. THEN they understood why the veto was made at the 1903 election. And they were glad it happened.
But they realized what they were up against. When the list of Masonic cardinals was made public in the 1970s, it was entirely denied by the powers that be. Silly list! No such thing as these Cardinals being Masons!
Well, of course they would deny it. But it is/was true. And this "plausible deniability" blueprint, started with Rampolla. And evidently still works with you.
