Feast Day (if applicable): N/A

 

Although elderly when elected, he was a zealous pope who fought against heresy, created the Index of Forbidden books, and rejected Elizabeth of England's claim to the throne. Some have charged him with anti-Semitism due to his measures placing restrictions on Jews (including restricting them to certain quarters, or ghettos). [Note: The customary practice of the popes and of the Church in general are far from condoning persecution of the Jews. In fact, the Church has often been their protector and regularly prayed for their conversion. Some actions taken against Jews in the past may have been motivated by fear or by situational factors (e.g. to protect the faith of Catholics after a large increase in the Jewish population in Rome); the Church, however, staunchly rejects persecution of the Jewish people.]

Date of Death: May 1, 1572

Approx. Age at Beginning of Reign: 62

Lived to Approx. Age: 68

Approx. Length of Reign: Over 6 years

Prior Name (if different): Michele Ghislieri

Feast Day (if applicable): April 30 (May 5, Trad.)

 

His papacy saw the important naval victory at Lepanto on October 7, 1571 [The victory was attributed to Our Lady and lead to his establishment of a feast in her honor (Our Lady of Victory, now Our Lady of the Rosary)]. He excommunicated Elizabeth I of England, published the new catechism and breviary, implemented Tridentine reforms, fought immorality and heresy, and perpetually canonized the Tridentine (old Latin) Mass.

Restored order in the public state (even allowing public executions), engaged in extensive building works, including work on the Vatican, streets, aqueducts and bridges, encouraged agriculture, encouraged missionary efforts, founded the Vatican press, and reorganized the Church's administration. His papacy has also been considered the "closest call" for papal infallibility as he was thought to be on the verge of formally promulgating a version of the Vulgate (Bible) that contained numerous errors before he died suddenly. It has been theorized that his sudden death was a direct intervention by God, protecting the papacy from formally proclaiming error.

BIG Book of Latin Activities For Catholics

Beginning - Intermediate (Vol. 1)

Click for more information & to purchase

"Suitable For Children Or Adults!" ~ "Perfect For Home Schoolers!"

+ + +

As many faithful Catholics already know, the majestic Latin language – the 'official language' of the Catholic Church – promotes unity, helps safeguard the purity of doctrine, connects us with our Catholic ancestors, allows us to pray in "one voice", and even ties back to the inscription on the Cross which was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. The Latin language is still used today in the precious treasure that is the Traditional Latin ('Tridentine') Mass, in 'everyday speech' (much of English is derived from Latin), in mottos, in specialized fields, and in educational endeavors. It has been shown that the study of Latin brings many benefits. "And, Latin is truly the language of heaven!"

If you enjoy Latin, you may be glad to know that this full-sized (8.5" x 11"), tradition-minded publication features an assortment of activity types related to Latin (including: word searches, crosswords, coloring activities, challenges, fill-ins, spelling bee, quizzes, unscrambles, true/false, multiple choice, matching, cross-offs, circling, word associations, translation exercises, and more...), and treats of various topics (including: common Latin words, Latin language facts, Latin grammar, nouns & verbs, abbreviations, phrases / sayings / mottos, prefixes, cardinal numbers, grammatical gender, inflection, word roots, diacritics / accenting, pronunciation, Latin prayers / hymns, Scripture verses, Catholic phrases, and more...).
