Pope Saint Pius X

QUOTE: Pope Saint Pius X in his Catechism,
1908: “It is lawful to kill when fighting in a just
war; when carrying out by order of the Supreme Authority a sentence of death in
punishment of a crime.” (Answer to question 3 - Are there cases in which
it is lawful to kill?)
AUTHOR: Pope Saint Pius X (Ecclesiastical Latin: Pius PP. X) (2 June 1835
– 20 August 1914), born Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto, was the 257th Pope of
the Catholic Church, serving from 1903 to 1914. He was the first pope since
Pope Pius V to be canonized. Pius X rejected mordernist interpretations of
Catholic doctrine, promoting traditional devotional practices and orthodox
theology. His most important reform was to publish the first Code of Canon Law,
which collected the laws of the Church into one volume for the first time. He
was a pastoral pope, encouraging personal piety and a lifestyle reflecting
Christian values. He was born in the town of Riese, which would later append
"Pio X" (Pius X's name in Italian) to the town's name.
