SAINT PIUS V

One of the prolific Catholic writers, University of Rome Professor Roberto de Mattei, has written a captivating and authoritative biography of Pope Pius V.  The saint Pope is broadly recognised as one of the most fearless and bravest popes of the past epoch.  He resolutely defeated the Ottoman Turks at the Battle of Lepanto and fought uncompromisingly the Protestant Reformation which assaulted the Church.  In this book, the readers will get to know the leadership of St Pius V in a time of trial as well as his impressive spiritual life and regimen, foresight, prudence in dealing with revolutionary rage of the Huguenots in France and his ways of managing the trials of excommunicated heretics, as well as reforming the disintegrating religious orders of his time.  Professor Roberto de Mattei has masterfully shown the heroic sanctity of Pope Saint Pius V with the unbending faithfulness to the truth.
