Pope St. Pius the X

Reprint of a very popular biography of a brilliant, many-faceted yet humble man who became the much beloved St. Pius X (1903-1914). He was born in 1835 the second of 10 children in a poor peasant family. Always at the head of his class, his rise from parochial priest to head of the Universal Church is described here in a fast-paced manner which captures the heart of the man. Includes a number of stories of his more famous miracles, especially those performed while he was Pope. This delightful work, which contains 10 photos, captures the brilliant, forceful, hard-working, zealous, ardent holy man who became the first canonized Pope in 342 years, the Pope whom St. Malachy had prophetically described some 750 years before as "A Blazing Fire." Covers his fight against the improper interpretation of the separation of Church and State and his challenge to the Catholic World "to restore all things in Christ." Delightful!
