 Pope John IX
Not only is the date of John's birth unknown, but the date of his election as pope, and that of his death are alike uncertain.
He became pope in the early part of 898, and died in the beginning of the year 900.
Perhaps because he was favoured by the ducal House of Spoleto, John was able to maintain his position, and Sergius was driven from the city and excommunicated.

 Catholic Culture : Document Library : Immaculate Conception Defined by Pius IX
Around the middle of the century with the intention of accepting this request, Pope Pius IX after consulting the theologians, questioned the Bishops about the opportuneness and the possibility of such a definition, convoking as it were a "council in writing".
Pope Alexander VII, in the Bull Sollicitudo of 1661, spoke of the preservation of Mary's soul "in its creation and infusion into the body" (DS 2017).
Pius IX's definition, however, prescinds from all explanations about how the soul is infused into the body and attributes to the person of Mary, at the first moment of her conception, the fact of her being preserved from every stain of original sin.

 History of the Mass (4histort.htm)
John continued where Theodore II left off and reaffirmed the annulment of the "cadaver synod" orchestrated by Stephen VI as well as deposing Sergius and those in the inner circle who had manipulated the latter's election.
However the most important decree John IX made at a special convened synod was the pronouncement that from henceforth, in order to prevent the travesties that had happened in the last decade, the pope would no longer be elected by the populace but by the bishops and clergy of the Church.
To appease Lambert and avoid the inevitable internal struggles, John IX added the stipulation that the popes could not be consecrated unless there was a royal official or their emissary present.

 Pope John X - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John X, Pope from 914 to 928, was deacon at Bologna when he attracted the attention of Theodora, the wife of Theophylact, Count of Tusculum, the most powerful noble in Rome, through whose influence he was elevated first to the see of Bologna and then to the archbishopric of Ravenna.
Like Pope John IX (898–900) he endeavoured to secure himself against his temporal enemies through a close alliance with Theophylact and Alberic, marquis of Camerino, then governor of the duchy of Spoleto.
In December 915 John X granted the imperial crown to Berengar of Friuli (915–924), and with the assistance of the forces of all the princes of the Italian peninsula he took the field in person against the Saracens, over whom he gained a great victory on the banks of the Garigliano.

JOHN IX., pope from 898 to 900, not only confirmed the judgment of his predecessor Theodore II.

 Inquiring Minds: David Kertzer on Pope Pius IX (GSJ of Sept. 22, 2000)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Pius IX, the longest reigning pope in Church history (1846-78), was a fierce opponent of modernity and a strident foe of freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and freedom of the press.
The argument for his beatification is that Pius IX was a personally pious man, entirely devoted to the Church, and that everything he did was motivated by devotion to what he perceived as the welfare of the Church.
It is odd because, while Pius IX stood for opposition to modern times and hostility toward all other religions, John XXIII is known for undoing his work by trying to bring the Church into harmony with such doctrines as the belief in basic human rights and, especially, championing the respect of other religions.
