'The Pope who saved Europe.'
His real name was Michele Ghislieri, born poor.
Belonged to the Dominican Order of Preachers. He canonized the Latin Mass.
He encouraged the formation of Catholic warriors to try and defeat the Ottoman Empire invasion. It was principally a naval battle. Through the Holy Rosary, the battle was MIRACULOUSLY won.! God knows we could surely appreciate a new pope just like him to fight for the True Faith in our day. The Conclave begins Wednesday.
So he died May 1, a very special day ...the beginning of the Month of Mary!!
St Pius V, pray for us!
