Pope Saint Pius X, born Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto (June 2 1835 – August 20 1914), was Pope from 1903 to 1914, succeeding Pope Leo XIII. He was the first pope since the Counter-Reformation Pope St. Pius V to be canonized. Despite this, the pontificate of Pope St. Pius X was one of the more controversial of modern papacies. Nevertheless, he is considered by many to have been one of the greatest Pontiffs ever to reign.
