THE DESCRIPTION OF POPE SAINT PIUS V The Pope of the Holy Rosary Feast Day: April 30

"Utinam dirigantur viæ meæ ad custodiendas justificationes tuas (O that my ways may be directed to keep thy justifications.)" -Papal motto of Pius V based on Psalms 119:5

The pope who is the initiator of the feast of the Holy Rosary, was born Antonio Ghislieri, on January 17, 1504 in Bosco in the Duchy of Milan. At the age of 14, he entered the Dominican order and taking the name Michele, passing from the monastery of Voghera to that of Vigevano, and thence to Bologna. Ordained a priest at Genoa in 1528, he was sent by his order to Pavia, where he lectured for sixteen years. At Parma he advanced thirty propositions in support of the papal chair and against the Protestant Reformation.

Elected as pope on January 8, 1566, through the influential backing of Charles Borromeo, he was crowned ten days later, on his 62nd birthday by the protodeacon.

This zealous Dominican pope vigorously implemented the reform of the Church. Following the decrees of the Council of Trent, he instructed the bishops to reside in their diocese, and parish priests to teach catechism to the youth. After removing corruption and nepotism from the Roman Curia, he cleansed the Papal States from brigands and prostitutes. His disciplinary penalties were so severe, that he was accused of transforming Rome into a monastery. It was during his pontificate, that the new breviary, missal and catechism, were published.

His papal bull, Regnans in Excelsis (Reigning on High), is issued on February 1570, and that bull results in the excommunication of Queen Elizabeth I.

The Pope's greatest success was the Battle of Lepanto, fought off the coast of Greece on October 7, 1571, and it was the first major defeat of the Ottoman Empire. The victory was attributed to the help of the Blessed Virgin Mary, whose aid was invoked through praying the rosary. In commemoration of that event, he instituted the feast of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary on October 7, and inserted the titled Mary, Help of Christians in the Litany of the Blessed Mother.

Pius V died on May 1, 1572 at the age of 68, and is succeeded by Ugo Boncompagni, who will later on to become Pope Gregory XIII. He is beatified by Pope Clement X in 1672 and canonized by Pope Clement XI in 1712.

Life of St. Pius V.

Pope from 1566-1572 and one of the foremost leaders of the Catholic Reformation.

Born Antonio Ghislieri in Bosco, Italy, to a poor family, he labored as a shepherd until the age of fourteen and then joined the Dominicans, being ordained in 1528. Called Brother Michele, he studied at Bologna and Genoa, and then taught theology and philosophy for sixteen years before holding the posts of master of novices and prior for several Dominican houses. Named inquisitor for Como and Bergamo, he was so capable in the fulfillment of his office that by 1558, he was named grand inquisitor.

He was unanimously elected a pope in 1566. As pope, Pius saw his main objective as the continuation of the massive program of reform for the Church. He published the Roman Catechism, the revised Roman Breviary, and the Roman Missal; he also declared Thomas Aquinas a Doctor of the Church, commanded a new edition of the works of Thomas Aquinas, and created a commission to revise the Vulgate.

In dealing with the threat of the Ottoman Turks who were advancing steadily across the Mediterranean, Pius organized a formidable alliance between Venice and Spain, culminating in the Battle of Lepanto, which was a complete and shattering triumph over the Turks. The day of the victory was declared the Feast Day of Our Lady of Victory in recognition of Our Lady's intercession in answer to the saying of the Rosary all over Catholic Europe. Pius also spurred the reforms of the Church by example.

He insisted upon wearing his coarse Dominican robes, even beneath the magnificent vestments worn by the popes, and was wholeheartedly devoted to the religious life.

Saint of the Day – Saint Pope Pius V OP (1504-1572) – born Antonio Ghislieri (from 1518 called Michele Ghislieri, OP) 17 January 1504 at Bosco, diocese of Alessandria, Lombardy, Italy, was head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from 8 January 1566 to his death in 1572.   He died on 1 May 1572 in Rome, Italy, apparently of a renal disorder caused by kidney stones.   He was a reformer, an apostle of prayer and charity, a great organiser, Marian devotee and apostle of the Holy Rosary, lover of the Holy Cross.  Pius V was highly ascetic. 

He wore a hair shirt beneath the simple habit of a Dominican friar (for which reason he is often attributed with the institution of the White cassock worn by the Holy Father) and was often seen in bare feet.  In the time of a great famine in Rome he imported corn at his own expense from Sicily and France, a considerable part of which he distributed among the poor and sold the rest to the public at a very low price.  After the papal election, instead of hosting an elaborate banquet, he ordered that the food be given to people in real need.   Tradition holds that he once restored a beggar’s severed foot.

He is chiefly notable for his role in the Council of Trent, the Counter-Reformation, the Battle of Lepanto and the standardisation of the Roman rite within the Latin Church. Pius V declared Thomas Aquinas a Doctor of the Church.

As a cardinal, Ghislieri gained a reputation for putting orthodoxy before personalities, prosecuting eight French bishops for heresy.   He also stood firm against nepotism, rebuking his predecessor Pope Pius IV to his face when he wanted to make a 13-year-old member of his family a cardinal and subsidise a nephew from the papal treasury.

By means of the papal bull of 1570, Regnans in Excelsis, Pius V excommunicated Elizabeth I of England for heresy and persecution of English Catholics during her reign. He also arranged the formation of the Holy League, an alliance of Catholic states to combat the advancement of the Ottoman Empire in Eastern Europe. 

Although outnumbered, the Holy League famously defeated the Ottomans at the Battle of Lepanto in 1571.   St Pius V attributed the victory to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and instituted the feast of Our Lady of Victory.   Biographers report that as the Battle of Lepanto ended, Pius rose and went over to a window, where he stood gazing toward the East. “…Looking at the sky, he cried out, ‘A truce to business, our great task at present is to thank God for the victory which He has just given the Christian army’.”

Pope Pius V was from a poor Italian family and had entered the Dominican order at age 14.   A teacher, a master of novices, a bishop and finally a cardinal, he was a strict and honest man, as well as a zealous reformer.   He wept when he was told in 1566 that he had been elected pope.   The 18-year-long Council of Trent had ended 3 years before and he, as Holy Father, had the task of implementing it.

The previous pope had been easygoing but Pius V made immediate changes.   At first, the people complained that the atmosphere of Rome became like that of a monastery.   But soon the pope’s personal character changed their minds.   He ordered that the gifts given at his coronation be sent to hospitals and to those in need.   The Church finances were examined, the army was reduced and the lifestyles of the cardinals and bishops were simplified.   Seminaries were established, synods were held, dioceses were organised, and parish priests were called to regular meetings.   A new catechism was completed.   Parish priests were made responsible for Catholic education.   The Roman Missal became the sole Mass book for the Western Church (with a few minor exceptions) for four centuries.

His first care as Pope was to reform the Roman court and capital by the strict example of his household and the severe punishment of all offenders.   He next endeavoured to obtain from the Catholic powers the recognition of the Tridentine decrees, two of which he urgently enforced-the residence of bishops and the establishment of diocesan seminaries.

He revised the Missal and Breviary and reformed the ecclesiastical music.   Nor was he less active in protecting the Church.

We see him at the same time supporting the Catholic King of France against the Huguenot rebels, encouraging Mary Queen of Scots, in the bitterness of her captivity and excommunicating her rival the usurper Elizabeth, when the best blood of England had flowed upon the scaffold and the measure of her crimes was full.

But it was at Lepanto that the Saint’s power was most manifest, there, in October, 1571, by the holy league which he had formed but still more by his prayers to the great Mother of God, the aged Pontiff crushed the Ottoman forces and saved Christendom from the Turk.

St Pius was accustomed to kiss the feet of his crucifix on leaving or entering his room. One day the feet moved away from his lips.   Sorrow filled his heart and he made acts of contrition, fearing that he must have committed some secret offence but still he could not kiss the feet.   It was afterwards found that they had been poisoned by an enemy.

After only six years as pope, Pius V died of a painful disease, of which he had never complained.   He was buried in the chapel of St Andrea which was close to the tomb of Pope Pius III, in the Vatican. Although his will requested he be buried in Bosco, Pope Sixtus V built a monument in the chapel of SS. Sacramento in the Liberian basilica. His remains were transferred there on 9 January 1588.  The front of his tomb has a lid of gilded bronze which shows a likeness of the dead pope. Most of the time this is left open to allow the veneration of the saint’s remains.

Portrait of Pius V by Pierre Le Gros on the tomb

In 1696, the process of Pius V’s canonisation was started through the efforts of the Master of the Order of Preachers, Antonin Cloche.   He also immediately commissioned a representative tomb from the sculptor Pierre Le Gros the Younger, to be erected in the Sistine Chapel of the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore.   The pope’s body was placed in it in 1698.   Pope Pius V was beatified by Pope Clement X in the year 1672 and was Canonised by Pope Clement XI (1700–21) on 22 May 1712.

Blessed Cardinal John Henry Newman declared that:

 “St Pius V was stern and severe, as far as a heart burning and melted with divine love could be so … Yet such energy and vigour as his were necessary for the times.   He was a soldier of Christ in a time of insurrection and rebellion, when in a spiritual sense, martial law was proclaimed.”

Here are the best things to do in Pavia.

[toc]

1. Certosa di Pavia

One of the most notable Italian Renaissance buildings is the magnificent Certosa di, Pavia. Giangaleazzo Visconti of Milan founded the monastery, 10km north of Pavia, in 1396 as a chapel and a private tomb for the Visconti family.

Originally intended to be an architectural companion to Milan's Duomo, the architects worked on its design; however, the final result, which was completed more than a century later, was a unique combination of Gothic and Renaissance architecture.

2. La Torre degli Aquila

A trip to Pavia is almost only worth eating in the medieval tower of Dimo and Maria. Although rooted in tradition (agricultural sickles and ancient pots adorn the walls), sensational cooking is very creative.

3. Università degli Studi di Pavia

The University of Pavia was founded in 1361 by Galeazzo II Visconti, although there was a holy school here in early 825. The oldest colleges, dating from the 16th century, are Collegio Borromeo and Collegio Ghislieri.

Three others have been added and now they are all linked through the Pavia University System, Acaduto Universitario di Studi Superiori (IUSS).

4. Museo per la Storia dell' Università di Pavia

Pavia's venerable university is one of the oldest in Europe and is still a thriving seat of learning. Architects Piermarini (author of La Scala) and Pollack had a hand in reviving neoclassical rule under Austrian rule, and it is this structure that still exists today.

On the solemn grounds, you can visit the small university museum, which tells the story of the institute's long history and contains horrific relics like the preserved head of pioneer surgeon Antonio Scarpa.

5. Duomo

Dominating the town center is Pavia's red-brick Duomo, topped by the third largest dome in Italy. Leonardo da Vinci and Donato Bramante contributed to the design, which began in 1488 but was not completed until the 19th century. As a result, the cave structure has an imperfect Greek cross plan and is still lacking. marble facade.

6. Basilica di San Michele

Don't miss the presbytery where you'll find fragments of mosaic floor depicting the Labours of the Months, or the atmospheric crypt, with its beautifully decorated capitals.

7. Antica Osteria del Previ

Located in the Borgo Ticino, the menu at this rustic osteria (think gauze curtains, a terracotta tiled floor, and pink silky napkins) is well-rooted in the territory. Expect super-risotto with seasonal asparagus, salmon or scallops, soused salmon, goose salami and Pavian salted cod.

Local wines from Oltrepò Pavese and the Valtellina are also well represented.

8. Teatro Fraschini

Pavia's beautiful baroque theater was formed by Antonio Galli Bibiena. The season takes place from October to January.

9. Castello Visconteo

Looming over the old town is the Visconteo red brick building, built-in 1360 for Galeazzo II Visconti. Inside the forbidding ramparts is an enormous walled garden, where art exhibits and wine tastings are held in spring and summer.

The castle is also home to Musei Civici, which houses interesting, if poorly curated, archaeological, ethnographic and art collections.

10. Orto Botanico

Wander around the historic botanical garden when the Università degli Studi di Pavia is open. It is located on an area once covered by the monastery of Sant'Epifanio, and the contours of the monastery are still visible. Under Austrian time, this was a pioneering plant experiment site, but now it provides a shady respite from the city.

[cristianesimocattolico]

San Pío V

Fu uno dei maggiori personaggi della Riforma cattolica, difese la retta fede dalle eresie e legò il suo nome alla battaglia di Lepanto. Promosse una riforma morale del clero e del popolo. Fu sempre paterno con i poveri e gli ammalati, e si preoccupò di favorire i servizi sanitari.

Si rimane colpiti al leggere l’elenco delle cose fatte nei sei anni di pontificato di san Pio V (1504-1572), uno dei maggiori personaggi della Riforma cattolica, che difese la retta fede dalle eresie e legò il suo nome alla battaglia di Lepanto.

Al secolo Antonio Ghislieri, nacque da una famiglia nobile ma allora in decadenza. A 14 anni entrò tra i domenicani, assumendo il nome religioso di Michele. Suscitò presto l’ammirazione dei superiori per la sua mente brillante e lo stile di vita austero. Maturò una solida preparazione tomista (da papa ordinerà lo studio della Somma Teologica nelle università). Poté poi dedicarsi all’insegnamento della teologia, distinguendosi nello stesso tempo come saggio priore in più conventi tra il Piemonte e la Lombardia. In ragione delle sue virtù, nel 1542 fu chiamato alla Santa Inquisizione, dove ricoprirà via via ruoli di crescente importanza contrastando e confutando l’eresia protestante.

Agli incarichi da inquisitore fecero seguito la consacrazione episcopale (fu vescovo di Sutri e Nepi e poi di Mondovì) e la porpora cardinalizia, ma il santo non perdette mai l’umiltà e continuò a vivere da asceta. Alla morte di Pio IV nel dicembre 1565, Antonio Michele Ghislieri era dunque una delle figure più in vista della Chiesa - all’epoca in pieno fermento riformatore, conseguente al Concilio di Trento (1545-1563) - ma all’inizio del conclave non figurava tra i maggiori papabili. Fu soprattutto il sostegno del ben più giovane san Carlo Borromeo a favorire la sua elezione al soglio pontificio, avvenuta il 7 gennaio 1566. Da neo papa non perse tempo a dare attuazione ai decreti tridentini. Tra i suoi primi atti vi fu l’ordine di pubblicare il Catechismo Romano, opera che era stata iniziata sotto il precedente pontificato e che serviva a dare ai sacerdoti un’autorevole base dottrinale per la trasmissione delle verità di fede ai laici.

Fece pubblicare il nuovo Breviario e il nuovo Messale, promosse la devozione del Rosario, disciplinò la regola di clausura per gli ordini femminili, stabilì l’obbligo della residenza per i vescovi, combatté la simonia e il nepotismo, eliminò ogni spesa superflua della sede papale, al punto da far adattare alla sua corporatura gli abiti pontificali dei suoi predecessori. Con la bolla Horrendum illud scelus condannò fermamente la sodomia nel clero, la cui riforma morale era da lui avvertita come cruciale per la salvezza delle anime. Diceva infatti che «i cattivi preti sono la rovina del popolo» e «i mali causati da un sì gran numero di eresie hanno la loro origine nei costumi corrotti del clero». Si preoccupò ugualmente di restaurare il senso morale del popolo, prevedendo sanzioni per i bestemmiatori e gli adulteri, espellendo da Roma molte cortigiane e cercando di limitare la prostituzione. Sempre paterno con i poveri e gli ammalati, provvide per loro a un’oculata distribuzione di cibo e denaro. Si preoccupò di favorire i servizi sanitari.

Non meno deciso fu nei rapporti con i potenti d’Europa, fatto che gli procurò diversi avversari. Nella contrapposizione tra la cattolica Maria Stuarda e l’anglicana Elisabetta Tudor, appoggiò la prima e scomunicò la seconda. Di fronte all’espansionismo musulmano, il cui ultimo atto era stato l’attacco all’isola di Cipro, fu Pio V a promuovere la formazione della Lega Santa. La quale, il 7 ottobre 1571, dopo una “crociata” di Rosari per chiedere l’aiuto della Provvidenza, sconfisse la flotta dell’Impero Ottomano nelle acque di Lepanto. I messaggeri arrivarono a Roma solo 23 giorni dopo, ma il santo aveva già saputo in visione della storica vittoria lo stesso giorno della battaglia, ordinando: «Sono le 12, suonate le campane, abbiamo vinto a Lepanto per intercessione della Vergine Santissima». Nacque così la festa di Santa Maria della Vittoria, l’odierna memoria della Beata Vergine Maria del Rosario.

Ai cardinali riuniti attorno al suo letto di morte, disse: «Vi raccomando la Santa Chiesa che ho tanto amato! Cercate di eleggermi un successore zelante, che cerchi soltanto la gloria del Signore, che non abbia altri interessi quaggiù che l’onore della Sede Apostolica e il bene della cristianità».
