St. Pius V

Saint Pius V was the Pope whom God called upon to implement the decisions of the Council of Trent in the 1500s after the protesting of the Reformation. In his short reign he did this. Plus, he formed a European league, a true European Union, to defend Europe against the physical aggression of Islam. Again, under the leadership of Don John, this league was successful in 1571 at the naval battle of Lepanto.
So Pius V saved Europe. Now the Catholic Church is under serious attack from the inside. The Latin Rite has a new mass called the novus ordo, but is this a Mass? Not according to Pius V who is definitely a Pope for our time, true defender of the Faith. Pius the V put a warning in the front of the missals which said that this form of the Latin Mass was to be said until the end of time-other Popes verified this warning. Then through Vatican II the enemies of the Mass somehow were able to have the Tridentine Mass shoved aside and the 'Novus Ordo' installed in its place. How was this done through a pastorial council? It is difficult to understand except that defenders of the Faith like GK Chesterton, Hilaire Belloc, St Pius X et al were not around to back the simple words of St. Pius V; the words that said that this Mass was to be said until the end of time. These words did not mean until the 1960s, 70s or 80s, but until Judgement Day.
So I lean to St. Pius V to guide my hand as I try to show his wisdom and simplicity which saved the Church once and, now, can save it again. I bow to this Pope and kneel before Mary, the Mother of God, who help Pius V at Lepanto and let him know of the Don John's victory by a vision.
