Synopsis

St. Pius X: A Pictorial Biography is a book that chronicles the life and legacy of Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto, who became Pope Pius X. Written by Leonard Von Matt, the book is a visual journey through the life of this beloved saint. The book features numerous photographs and illustrations that help to bring the story to life, giving readers a glimpse into the world of the early 20th century.The book begins with a brief introduction to the early life of Giuseppe Sarto, who was born in 1835 in the small town of Riese, Italy. From there, the book follows his journey as he rises through the ranks of the Catholic Church, eventually becoming the Bishop of Mantua and then the Patriarch of Venice.In 1903, Sarto was elected Pope, taking the name Pius X. The book explores his papacy, which was marked by his efforts to reform the Church and promote a more traditional form of Catholicism. He was a staunch defender of the faith and worked tirelessly to combat the modernist movement that was gaining traction at the time.The book also delves into his personal life, including his love for music and his devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. It concludes with his death in 1914 and his subsequent canonization as a saint by Pope Pius XII in 1954.Overall, St. Pius X: A Pictorial Biography is a beautiful and informative tribute to one of the most beloved popes in history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the Catholic Church or the life of this remarkable saint.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

St. Alphonsus writes: “a single bad book will be sufficient to cause the destruction of a monastery.” Pope Pius XII wrote in 1947 at the beatification of Blessed Maria Goretti: “There rises to Our lips the cry of the Saviour: 'Woe to the world because of scandals!' (Matthew 18:7). Woe to those who consciously and deliberately spread corruption-in novels, newspapers, magazines, theaters, films, in a world of immodesty!” We at St. Pius X Press are calling for a crusade of good books. We want to restore 1,000 old Catholic books to the market. We ask for your assistance and prayers.
