SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF PIUS X


By Rev. Louis R. Stickney, formerly Secretary to the Apostolic Delegation.


Pope Pius X, Joseph Melchoir Sarto, the present occupant of the chair of Peter, was born on the 2nd day of June, 1835, in the small village of Riese, diocese of Treviso, Italy. His parents, John Baptist Sarto and Mar- garet Sansoni, were of humble origin, and, though not blessed with a great plenty of this world's goods, were very religious and highly respectel by those about them.


Joseph Melchoir, the first of eight children, was sent as a small boy to the little village school, in which only the rudimentary branches were taught. He soon attracted the attention of the parish priest of the village, whose Mass he served every morning, and from him he received his first lessons in Latin. The archpriest of Riese, noticing in the small boy the incipient signs of a vocation to the priesthood, and wishing to direct his steps toward the sanctuary, prevailed on Joseph's father to make the necessary sacrifices, and. at the age of eleven, he was sent to the college at Castelfranco Veneto, about five miles from Riese.


Having completed, with marked success, his studies at the college of Castelfranco, his good father, allowing him to follow his vocation, permitted him to enter the seminary at Padua. During the entire course of his eight years of study in the seminary, he continued to give evident proofs of the pious training he had received from his good parents, and by his conscientious application to study, assisted by a natural quickness of mind, he soon ranke 1 amongst the first in his class. On the 4th of May, 1852, just as he was about to commence his philosophical studies, his father died, and it seemed that he would be forced to give up for a while his studies and return to his home in Riese to assist his poor mother; however, through the kindness of the arch- priest of Riese, and the Patriarch of Venice, Monsignor Monico, he obtained a free scholarship and was able to go on with his seminary course.


On the 18th of September, 1858, Joseph was ordained priest in the prin- cipal church of Castelfranco by Mgr. Farina, Bishop of Treviso, and was immediately appointed curate in the little village of Tombalo. There he labored zealously for nine years, until June, 1867, when he was named arch- priest of the town of Salzano.


In 1875 Mgr. Zinelli, Bishop of Treviso, called him to his episcopal city and appointed him canon of the Cathedral and spiritual director of the sem- inary. To these duties he soon had to add those of chancellor of the diocese, and in all these positions he showed such untiring zeal and faithfulness that Mgr. Zinelli appointed him as his Vicar-General. This post he filled during the administrations of Mgr. Callegari and Mgr. Apollonio.


On the 10th of November. 1884, the See of Mantua became vacant by the transfer of its Bishop to Udine, and Leo XIII, in the consistory of the same date, selected him for that post. He was consecrated in the Cathedral at Mantua on the 25th of November, 1884, by His Eminence Cardinal Paroochi, assisted by Mgr. Rota, Titular Archbishop of Thebes, and Mgr. Berengo. Archbishop of Udine.


15


Sh mn w Adi Liry ne PIS X-Confirmed,


Dunque his administration of the diocese of Mantua Monsignor Sarte showed such activity and zeal that, on the death of the Patriarch of Venice Cardinal Agostini, Leo XIII chose him as successor, and. in the consistory o: June 12th, 1893, created him Cardinal Priest, and in the following consistor: of June 15th appointed him Patriarch of Venice.


On the 20th of July, 1903, he received the news of the death of Leo XII] and left immediately for Rome to assist at the Conclave. He entered the Conclave the evening of the 31st of July with the firm persuasion that he would leave it as he was when he entered; he bought a round-trip ticket from Venice to Rome. and as he left the Lombard College. at which he was at guest during his stay in Rome, to enter the Conclave he said jokingly, to the students. "We are going to imprison some one in the Vatican and put him under double lock." Little did he imagine that he was the one chosen by Divine Providence to be imprisoned. On the Feast of St. Dominic. August 4th, 1903. His Eminence Cardinal Macchi announced to the people that Car- dinal Joseph Melchoir Sarto, Patriarch of Venice. had been elected successor to Leo XIII. Bishop of Rome and Sovereign Pontiff, and that he had chosen the name of Pius X. He was solemnly crowned in St. Peter's on the 9th of August.


In his first encyclical letter. "E supremi apostolatus cathedra," of October 4th. 1903. by which he made known to the entire world his elevation to the Chair of Peter, Pius X gave as the foundation of his pontificate the words of the Apostle, "Instamare omnia in Christo" "to re-establish all things in Christ" (Ephes. I, 10). Since then his most important acts have been: his motu proprio on church music. November 22nd, 1903; his motu proprio of March 19th, 1904, for the codification of Canon Law; his condemnation of sixty-five propositions by a Decree of the Holy Office. July 3rd, 1907; the new legislation regarding marriage in the Decree "Ne temere" of the Sacred Congregation of Council. August 2nd. and the encyclical letter, "Pascend: dominici gregis," of September 8th. 1907, wherein he condemns the doctrines of the Modernists.

HIS EXCELLENCY THE MOST REVEREND DIOMEDE FALCONIO, D.D., Apostolic Delegate.


SKETCH OF THE APOSTOLIC DELEGATION WASHINGTON, D. C.


By Rev. Louis R. Stiekney, formerly Secretary to the Delegation.


The Apostolic Delegation was founded in the year 1893 by His Holiness Pope Leo XIII, who selectel as the first Representative of the Holy See in the United States Monsignor Francis Satolli, Titular Archbishop of Lepanto. With him came as auditor Monsignor Donato Sbarretti, and as secretary the Rev. Hector Papi. Mgr. Satolli established the Delegation at Washington, and, after a few months as guest of the Catholic University of America. he took up his residence at 201 1 Street, one of the famous old mansions of Washington, and which was once the home of a Mayor of the District of Columbia.


In 1894 Father Papi resigned his position as secretary, and entered the Society of Jesus. He was succeeded by Rev. Frederick Z. Rooker.


In November. 1895. Pope Leo, desiring to show his appreciation of the services rendered to the Church by Mgr. Satolli, elevated him to the dignity of the Cardinalate. He was succeeded by Mgr. Sebastian Martinelli, O. S. A .. Titular Archbishop of Ephesus, in 1896. In the year 1900 Mgr. Sbarretti. the auditor of the Delegation, was appointed Bishop of Havana, and was succeeded by Mgr. Francis Marchetti. Mgr. Martinelli, created Cardinal at the consistory of April 15th. 1901, was succeeded by Mgr. Diomedi Falconio. O. F. M., who was transferred from the Delegation at Ottawa, Can- ada. Monsignor Rooker, secretary of the Delegation, was appointed, Jant - ary Sth, 1903, Bishop of Jaro, Philippine Islands, where he died. September 1Sth, 1907. and was succeeded, January 1st, 1904, by Rev. Louis R. Stickney, who was secretary at the Apostolic Delegation in Canada.


Monsignor Marchetti, the auditor of the Delegation, was recalle 1 to Rome in May, 1905, and was succeeded by Mgr. Bonaventure Cerretti, formerly - retary of the Delegation in Mexico.


At a meeting held in 1905, of the Most Reverend Archbishops. it was decided to erect a new and modern residence for the Apostolic Delegate. A building committee, composed of His Eminence Cardinal Gibbons and the Most Rev. Archbishops of Philadelphia and New York, was formel. A site was procured on Biltmore Street. Washington Heights, one of the most beau- tiful residential sections of Washington. Mr. A. O. Von Herbulis was chosen as architect, and Messrs. Newman and Smith as builders. Work was com- menced in February, 1906, and the Delegate was able to enter his new home in December, of the same year.


The building is of light brick, with limestone trimmings, three stories in height and is designed on the lines of the Italian Renaissance.


The first floor contains the reception rooms and parlors, the dining and recreation rooms, whilst to the rear are the kitchen and pantries. A broad stairway leads to the second floor, where the Delegate's suite of apart- ments and the archives and offices are located. From the hall of this floor one enters the beautiful and commodious chapel, which extends the breadth of the building. It is finished in pure white, and contains a beautiful altar of Italian marble.


On the third floor are the apartments of the auditor and secretary, and guest rooms. A stairway leads from this floor to the roof. from which may be had a magnificent view over the city and the surrounding country.
