| | Saint Pius X: Canonization Of Pope Pius X By Pope Pius XII (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) |
 | | Cardinal Pacelli, the future Pope Pius XII, earlier referred to him in the anniversary year of his birth as that "ardent flame of charity and radiant splendor of sanctity." For the 25th anniversary of his death, an imposing procession was organized for the area dioceses to the tomb of the Servant of God. |
 | | Pius X was to become the incomparable patron of the sciences, both sacred and profane: Biblical, philosophical, and theological studies, as well as art, chant, and sacred music. |
 | | Pius XII spoke to the bishops who had come to Rome to render "a tribute of admiration and of honor" to Pius X. It is interesting to recall that wherever he was assigned, he reformed the diocesan statutes, after having held and organized synods (Mantua, Venice, Rome). |
