Pope Pius X Dies After War Worries

Rome reports Pope Pius X died at 1:20 am after four days of illness linked to bronchitis and a weak heart amid Europe’s war. He reigned nine years, shown steadfast in faith, while his death followed a relapse during the crisis. Born Giuseppe Sarto in Treviso, he rose from parish priest to pope through church service and reform.
