PIUS X

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 690 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PIG-POL
PIUS X . (GIUSEPPE SARTO), elected
pope
  in 1903, was born on the 2nd of June 1835, of humble parents, at the little town of Riete in the province of Treviso,
Italy
 . He studied theology at the episcopal seminaries of Treviso and Padua, and was ordained priest in 1858. For seventeen years he acted as parish priest at various small places in Venetia, until in 1875 he was appointed
canon
  of the
cathedral
  and superior of the
seminary
  at Treviso. In 188o he refused the bishopric of Treviso, but in 1884, on the express command of Leo XIII., he accepted that of Mantua. On the 12th of June 1893 he was created a
cardinal
 , and three days later was nominated
patriarch
  of Venice. In Venice he made himself very popular owing to his piety, his simplicity and geniality, and by his readiness to act in
harmony
  with the Italian government. He succeeded Leo XIII. in his election to the papal chair on the 4th of August 1903. (See PAPACY, ad fin.)
