Pope Saint Pius X
Saint Pius X by Frances Forbes is the clear, candid life of the village-born priest who became the Pope of the Eucharist, the hammer of heresy, and the shepherd who refused to let the wolves in. Written with the simplicity of old Catholic England, Forbes gives this short biography that traces the path from Giuseppe Sarto’s seminary days to his Sacred burden on the Chair of Peter.
Forbes presents the man as he humble, stubborn, cheerful, and immovable. Modernity unravels every thread of Christendom; the life of Pius X stands in opposition to this unraveling, heading toward clarity, conviction, and the courage to guard the Tradition that has been handed down. No modern confusion, whether in mitres or manifestos, can cloud the clean light of a soul who “I was born poor, I have lived poor, and I wish to die poor.”
