 Pope Pius X - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In his papacy, Pius X worked to increase devotion in the lives of the clergy and laity, particularly in the Divine Office and the Holy Mass.
The Blessed Pius X's feast day was established as 3 September.
Pius X's papacy featured vigorous condemnation of what he termed 'modernists' and 'relativists' who endangered the Catholic faith (see for example his Anti-Modernist oath).

 St. Pius X (spioxbio.htm)
Pius X was especially attentive to the needs of his fellow priests, rearranging the Psalter of the Liturgy of the Hours while holding the simple parish priest up as a model for all to emulate.
Pius adamantly and wisely refused to be persuaded to the false humanistic manifesto, reemphasizing over and over that if it was good enough for Jesus, it was good enough for His Church in the 20th Century.
It was Pius X who decreed that the Host and Chalice must be elevated during the Consecration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and at the Doxology.

 Pope Pius X
The greater number of these propositions concern the Holy Scriptures, their inspiration, and the doctrine of Jesus and of the Apostles, while others relate to dogma, the sacraments, and the primacy of the Bishop of Rome.
The pope has at heart above all things the purity of the faith.
Meanwhile the law of Separation had been already prepared, despoiling the Church of France, and also prescribing for the Church a constitution which, if not openly contrary to her nature, was at least full of danger to her.

 Saint Pius X: Canonization Of Pope Pius X By Pope Pius XII
With his eagle-eye, and with the eye of a prophet and a saint, Pius X saw the forces of materialism and false spiritualism conspiring against the Church and her priesthood, for the ruin of Christendom.
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.
The lucidity and the firmness with which Pius X led the victorious battle against the errors of modernism bear witness to what heroic degree the faith burned in the heart of the saint....[He] had the clear awareness of fighting for the most sacred cause of God and human souls...[with] the indomitable stamina of an athlete.

 95 YEARS AGO: Modernism Condemned
Modernism, taught the Pope, was an error, invading all sectors of the Catholic Faith, that became a kind of agnosticism and immanentism in religious matters containing all the heresies of the past.
However, the future Pope Pius XII, as a young priest himself, was aware of the modernist enemy and of its continued clandestine maneuvers.
Another letter from the Pope was sent to the prelate in 1912; a third and last letter of praise was sent in 1914.

 St. Pius X
On June 3, 1951, Pius X was declared Blessed, and finally on May 29, 1954, amid the traditional pealing of the bells in the great churches of Rome, Giuseppe Sarto, the humble parish priest of the world, was canonized a saint of God.
The evils of the world were traceable to an ignorance of God, he said, and it was necessary for priests to make the eternal truths available to all and in a language that all could understand.
The prime means of accomplishing this restoration was dearly seen by Pius to be through the clergy, and throughout his reign, the Pope exhorted bishops to reorganize the seminaries and to obtain the best possible training for these men who would instill in others the knowledge of God.

 Pope St. Pius X
St. Pius is remembered particularly for his prompt efforts to uproot the heresy that he termed "theological modernism." Basically, this was an outlook which, by the imprudent application of new scientific methods to religious studies, reached the radical conclusion that what is a truth of faith today may cease to be so tomorrow.
Other phases of Pius' renewal of the Church were the codification of Church law and the adoption of a worldwide catechetical program.
Taking the name Pius X, the new pope brought his skills as a country pastor into play as "parish priest of the whole world." The motto he adopted was: "To renew all things in Christ."

 Pope Pius X
Primarily he turned to the spiritual needs of the Church and is remembered as the pope who encourage frequent reception of Holy Communion, especially by children, and he urges that they receive this wonderful sacrament as early as possible.
The opening prayers of the Mass (on His Feast Day) recognized that he was filled with "heavenly wisdom and apostolic courage." He met the needs of the Church and the needs of society.
It was a time that clled for strength in leadership in the Church and this humble saint was equal to the challenge.

 Si Diligis: Canonisation of Saint Pius X: Venerable Pope Pius XII
Time and again Saint Pius X, in writings whose importance is known to all of you, urgently stressed the need for this union with the mind and teaching of the Church.
However matters of religion and morals, because they completely transcend truths of the senses and the plane of the material, pertain solely to the office and authority of the Church.
As for the laity, it is clear that they can be invited by legitimate teachers and accepted as helpers in the defense of the faith.

 ST. PIUS X
The government suppressed religious orders, attacked religious education, and in 1905 unilaterally denounced the concordat, separated Church and State, and confiscated Church property.
Modernism does not mean a devotion to television or atomic research, but a very dangerous adaptation of the dogmas of faith to fads of the day.
Determined to tear it out by the roots, Pius followed these measures by demanding from every priest an oath against modernism.

 Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary : Pope Saint Pius X
His Holiness Pope Pius X issued his first encyclical letter on October 4, 1903, recalling "with what tears and urgent prayers" he had tried "to fend off the formidable burden of the Papacy." "We were terrified beyond all else," He explained, "by the disastrous state of human society today.
And so as Pope in 1908 he wrote his famed Exhortation to the Catholic Clergy, a spiritual formula urging those ancient prescriptions of the Church — prayer, meditation, the study of holy works, and other practices conducive to an interior life — as the means by which to acquire priestly sanctity.
I could not help thinking that after all Pope Pius X was receiving the rights of the Church in the way most congenial to him....

 Pope St Pius X and Hilaire Belloc (Seattle Catholic)
He never dreamt that a Pope, and many bishops in the Church with him, would let them in the through the windows of a reckless and foolhardy "aggiornamento".
He believed that the Pope had killed it, not through brutality or persecution, as others — oversensitive types, largely — might have seen it, but rather through the simple re-statement of Thomistic truths and the clear expression of Catholic Truth.
It is unsurprising that the Pope's death a few months later came as a shock to Belloc as indeed it did to the whole Catholic world.

Fenton concludes his commentary on the Introduction saying that "Saint Pius X makes it very clear that the bishops of the Catholic Church were bound in conscience by the obligations of their office to act energetically against this teaching that contradicted the divinely revealed truth proposed as such by the true Church.
Pius X explained that for Modernists, "to the laws of evolution everything is subject, dogma, worship..., even Faith itself".
No, the greatest threat that Pius X recognized was the enemies of Christ inside the Church: priests, theologians, and laity who espoused a perverse system called "Modernism," rightly denounced by Pius X as the "synthesis of all heresies".

 Considering Pope St. Pius X
A purpose of this website is to celebrate the memory of this holy saint and pope who had very little patience with those who cast doubt on Catholic teachings and practices, and to lament the activities of all those who today, a century later, are publicly denouncing Church policies.
During his pontificate some leaders of the Modernist movement sought to change traditional teachings of the Church and the saintly Pius X spent much of his pontificate strenuously opposing them.

 Oath Against Modernism - by Pope St. Pius X
Early this century Pope St.Pius X saw it extremely urgent to impose an oath on all newly ordained priests, (and professors of Catholic Universities).
We here offer this oath to all Catholics who value the integrity of the Faith, and encourage all to seriously ask themselves if they, too, could place their hand on the Holy Scriptures and profess these beloved Truths revealed by God, and so dear to all the Saints and Martyrs.
So I promise, so I swear, so help me God.

 Protestant Contra-Catholic Revisionist History: Pope St. Pius X & Cardinal Newman's Alleged <Modernism>
Pope Pius X stated in the letter to the bishop that he agreed with the bishop's pamphlet, which showed that Newman's development was not included in the condemnation of "evolution of dogma."
Pope St. Pius X wrote (in 1908) a commendatory letter to a bishop who had argued that Pascendi did not condemn Newman (he agreed with him).
Pope St. Pius X himself -- in the same year: 1908 -- wrote a letter to Bishop O'Dwyer, thoroughly approving of his pamphlet.

 Pope Pius X on Priestly Propriety and Dignity
These comments of Pius X to priests reflect the customary teaching of the Church since the time of St. Peter until Vatican II.
Maybe you'll explain why a rolling platform, upon which the Pope is trucked along like a load of pig iron, is so much more natural and preferable than the sedia gestatoria, which afforded both better visibility and the opportunity for the faithful to demonstrate their veneration for the office of Universal Patriarch.
The pomp surrounding the papacy had, by the time of Pius XII, grown into an obscene spectacle, with the flabelli (ostrich feathers) waved over the Pope and the sedia gestatoria elevating him so that the peons could bow in his presence.

 Catholic Answers Forums - Pope Pius X, modernism, and traditionalism
He loosely bases this on a belief that post Pius X popes WERE tinged with modernism AND a dimunition of Marian devotion.
Also, I heard that some really traditional Catholics say that since Pius X, there have been no legitimate popes, that he was the last one.
This is the equivalent of trying to claim that St.Thomas Aquinas or St. Augustine embodies the whole tradition of Catholic theology.

 POPE ST. PIUS X
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 combating error, and in promoting the mission of the Church.
Forbes captures in this short biography 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 Ignis Ardens?"A Blazing Fire." 134pp.
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.
