Pope Saint Pius X (2 June 1835 – 20 August 1914) born Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto was Pope from 4 August 1903 to his death in 1914. He was canonized in 1954. Pius X is known for vigorously opposing modernist interpretations of Catholic doctrine promoting traditional devotional practices and orthodox theology. His most important reform was to publish the first Code of Canon Law which collected the laws of the Church into one volume for the first time.
