Thereupon, Pope Pius XI grew vexed at such heretical festivities, broke off relations with Czechoslovakia, recalled the Papal Nuncio, while Prague recalled its Minister at the Vatican.

A message hustled from Rome to the Czechoslovakian Episcopate, accepting Czechoslovakian reasons for participation in the Huss celebration, hoping that a reconciliation could soon be reached.

Yet Juarez died of apoplexy (1872) and the Church of Rome, deathless, unsleeping, recovered its preponderant ascendancy in Mexico during the more than quarter-century-long presidencies of Porfirio Diaz...
Then in 1882 Leo XIII (who, while he was papal nuncio in Brussels, had noted the young priest), conceived the idea of establishing a chair of philosophy in the University of Louvain to counter-balance the disarray of ideas prevalent among its students. For this professorship, all praise and recommendations centred in the studious priest, Desiré-Joseph Mercier. To Rome he went; conferred with many, including Pope Leo himself; outlined a Thomist program of scholastic philosophy with such clearness and understanding that he won quick approval.
