Pope Pius X Emerges From Peasant Roots As Humble Reformer
By James A. Edgerton pope Pius X, born Giuseppe Sarto, marks fifty years as a parish priest and rises as a democratic, unostentatious reformer. He abandons old courtly customs, opens church offices to the poor, fights graft, and blends charity with practical governance for the Vatican and its people.
