Description

forward by Cdl. Ottaviani
Pope St. Pius V's rosary bull, Consueverunt Romani Pontifices (1569)

In an incredible pontificate of 6 years; he vigorously promulgated the decrees of the Council of Trent (1545-1563); issued the Roman Missal; the revised Breviary and the Catechism of the Council of Trent; excommunicated Elizabeth I of England; established the Index of Forbidden Books; chose 314 bishops; wrote hundreds of bulls; and defeated the Turks at Lepanto in 1571; terminating their dominance of the Mediterranean Sea-all remarkably told in a short; readable biography.

Pope St. Pius V was the author of 𝘘𝘶𝘰 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘶𝘮 / Tridentine Missal, promoter of the rosary, unifier of continental Europe, excommunicator of Queen Elizabeth, denier of the Polish king's annulment request, commander-in-chief of the Battle of Lepanto, a real "powerhouse" during his short reign! 😄

constitution Cum primum: "If someone commits that nefarious crime against nature that caused divine wrath to be unleashed against the children of iniquity, he will be given over to the secular arm for punishment [of death]; and if he is a cleric, he will be subject to the same punishment after having been stripped of all his degrees [of ecclesiastical dignity]."
