Saint Pius V by Roberto De Mattei

Saint Pius V: The Legendary Pope Who Excommunicated Queen Elizabeth, Standardized the Mass, and Defeated the Ottoman Empire
By Roberto De Mattei

Here at last is a biography of the man whose life and methods should be the standard by which the reign of other Popes should be judged. Saint Pius V demonstrates what it means to be called great, to be called a holy bishop of the Church. Rich with history, references and footnotes, discover how the actions of this incredible Saint preserved the Church during some very difficult times. This Pope defeated the Ottoman Empire at Lepanto, and fought the Protestant revolt head on, leading the counter-Reformation on many fronts. He dealt with stray bishops and rotting religious orders, the trials of the excommunicated, and even would be the pope who excommunicated a queen.
