St. Pius X



1. You can thank him for getting to receive Communion frequently from the point of childhood.  He restored that practice during his time as Pope.

2.  He battled against Modernism, seeking to strike newness into the Church with Bible studies and the codification of Canon Law.  Something tells me he'd fit right in these days with the New Evangelization...

3.  Yay for simplicity!!  He had this written in his last will and testament:  "I was born poor, I have lived in poverty, and I wish to die poor."
