Pope Pius X, Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto

 


Pope Pius X, born Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto, led the Catholic Church from 1903 to 1914.

He encouraged frequent Communion, even for children, and fought against modernist ideas, insisting on strict traditional beliefs. He told followers, “Holy Communion is the shortest and safest way to Heaven.”
He reformed church law, streamlining canon law into a single code. He also improved priest training and restored Gregorian chant in church music.
His leadership strengthened Catholic identity but sparked controversy.
