Like you ...Thank you Byron for your kind comments.<br /><br />Like you I often wondered why Pius VII was never a serious candidate for sainthood. He had many noble qualities and was widely admired throughout Europe and beyond while he lived. Perhaps it may have had something to do with the fact his Secretary of State (Consalvi) had many foes in the Church and was disapproved of by many despite the fact that he was one of the most successful administrators and diplomats in the Nineteenth Century.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09216619732353177072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103288818005519281.post-23443758286130717912009-07-28T12:30:43.947+00:002009-07-28T12:30:43.947+00:00Your account of Pius VII is excellent and provides...Your account of Pius VII is excellent and provides ample testimony of his greatness. In the entire history of the papacy, he stands as one of the most worthy successors of St. Peter. His Christ-like personality sustained him through the incredible sufferings thrust on him and the Church by the egocentric Napoleon. Considering his genuine courage and profound Benedictine spirituality, it is a wonder why this great pontiff has not yet been beatified and canonized a saint. His heroic virtue is undeniable, and he served the Church as Vicar of Christ as well as any pope in the last two centuries. Thank you for your inspiring blog and this superlative posting.
