Description
Excerpt from Life of His Holiness Pope Pius X: Together With a Sketch of the Life of His Venerable Predecessor, His Holiness Pope Leo XIII; Also a History of the Conclave
The publication of a Life of Pius X. Should arouse the interest and excite the enthusiasm of the entire Catholic world. Unknown to the vast majority of Catholics, especially on this continent, before his ele vation to the sublime position he now holds, his faith ful subjects are naturally most curious to know all about him - his work, his character, his personality. And although the press, at the time of his election to the Papacy, ?ooded the world with descriptions of his person, examples of his wisdom, praises of his virtues, still the knowledge which these writers then possessed of him was but fragmentary, the facts all too hastily jumbled together, and, as a consequence, the sketches were very incomplete and unsatisfactory. However, what was said of him was laudatory in the highest degree, and has awakened in every Catholic heart a desire to obtain fuller and more accurate details.
