Here our Pope is praying the Rosary

This is a picture of Pius X's Canonization Mass: the Pope is venerating the relics of his saintly predecessor

Pius XII with the majestic Papal Master of Ceremonies Monsignor Dante at the Canonization of Pius X

Here he is at the Eucharistic Congress in Budapest. Excellent picture!

Preaching

No comments needed!!!
Ordinations (wow!) - I am not sure where this took place, but according to a friend, it was somewhere in Spain after the Civil War



Some Cardinal receiving the galero - great cappa!

Novem diales for Pius XII - the Absolutions



To anger some defenders of the Novus Ordo, Paul VI receiving the Precious Blood the traditional way (for Popes)

To anger Novus Ordo-ers even more, Paul VI celebrating Mass the Traditional way

If you have 1 hour and 24 seconds and you enjoy watching clips of Pope Pius XII, then I recommend you watch this video: Pastor Angélicus (Click on link).

The video is about the life and pontificate of Pius XII - It is completely in Italian, but you get to see a lot of things that we do not get to see today.

Pastor of souls




"Nothing could better obstruct the confrontation of man with God than the notion that we 'go unto the altar of God' as we would go to a pleasant, relaxing social gathering. This is why the Latin mass with Gregorian chant, which raises us up to a sacred atmosphere, is vastly superior to a vernacular mass with popular songs, which leaves us in a profane, merely natural atmosphere."
-Dietrich von Hildebrand

"Dietrich von Hildebrand is the 20th century Doctor of the Church."
