Overview

Pope Pius IX was the longest reigning Pope since Saint Peter. His reign was troubled with many things, including the necessity to flee the Vatican shortly after the Vatican Council close din 1870. He returned only to become the Prisoner of the Vatican, unable to leave the little area that eventually became the Vatican City State. Although this book is written mainly for children, . It is also interesting reading for adults as well. St. Alphonsus writes: a single bad book will be sufficient to cause the destruction of a monastery. Pope Pius XII wrote in 1947 at the beatification of Blessed Maria Goretti: There rises to Our lips the cry of the Saviour: 'Woe to the world because of scandals!' (Matthew 18:7). Woe to those who consciously and deliberately spread corruption-in novels, newspapers, magazines, theaters, films, in a world of immodesty! We at St. Pius X Press are calling for a crusade of good books. We want to restore 1,000 old Catholic books to the market. We ask for your assistance and prayers. This book is a photographic reprint of the original The original has been inspected and many imperfections in the existing copy have been corrected.
