Reflections on the Relevance of Saint Pius X

"Leo XIII made the Church credible in the eyes of the world.  He showed mastery in international diplomacy, and was respected-even admired-by liberal rulers around the world.  But at the end of his long pontificate, it was felt by many that the Church needed a more spiritual focus . . . above all, led by the example and preaching of the pope himself."

On Saturday, the Church celebrated the memory of Pope Saint Pius X. Brother Peter Martyr Joseph Yungwirth, O.P., shares a homily for this celebration. This homily, by Rev. Br. Hyacinth Marie Cordell, O.P., is entitled "The Relevance of Saint Pius X," and it may be accessed by visiting:
