Did he even approve of this endorsement / Appointment?

Notice the prices for different models of pianolas.



Only 8 months later Pius X died +
Now he surrounded by angelic melodies, for ever...

LOL ... that reminds me of how Pope Leo XIII encorsed that "Vin Mariani" the wine laced with cocaine that he attributed his great energy and stamina to, as he churned out like an Encyclical a week for 30 years (slight exaggeration, but he was prolific).

Very surprising.!  Where do you find this? I wonder which came first  : MARIAni brand, or after the Pope appreciated its health benefits and the company  adapted a Brand name for  Catholics? The simple name Maria, sells.. Think "Madonna", Our Lady Peace,  "Immaculate Mary" rock band '80s etc. 

Anyway, here is a closer look at Pope St. Pius X, different angle.  So the Pope was so patient, because in those early days of photography, the subject had to stay perfectly immobile for a few seconds for the camera to do its function. slow aperture f/stop...

"...come to no surprise that, when Archbishop Lefebvre produced statutes to his new Society of St. Pius X, he gave it as a second name, and that is the Society of the Apostles of Jesus and Mary....

There is a fraud site on the French  internet called: Fraternité St. Pie X...completely ruining the Church / FSSPX image. But it is legal!..its "bishop" is hell bent to disfigure the Catholic Church...performing mock consecrations of the eucharist. ..change one word and Voilà, copyright. 

I hope no one is dumb enough to swallow that C Rampolla was FMason or that Il Papa Leo XIII was on Cocoa.
