 | | F.A. Forbes' popular biography, Pope St. Pius X, unveils the brilliant, many-faceted yet humble man who became St. Pius X. Born Giuseppe Sarto in 1835, St. Pius X was the second of 10 children and came from a poor peasant background. |
 | | 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. Once installed as Pope, St. Pius X was most vigorous in establishing reforms, in combatting error, and in promoting the mission of the Church. |
 | | Though he died in 1914, after a pontificate of just 11 years, St. Pius X was already canonized in 1954, only 40 years later, and he is today recognized as one of the greatest Popes of all time. |
