Pius V
Pope Pius V, OP (; 17 January 1504 – 1 May 1572), born Antonio Ghislieri (and from 1518 called Michele Ghislieri), was head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from 7 January 1566 to his death, in May 1572. He was an inquisitor and is venerated as a saint of the Catholic Church. He is chiefly notable for his role in the implementation of the Council of Trent, the Counter-Reformation, and the standardization of the Roman Rite within the Latin Church, known as the Tridentine mass. Pius V declared Thomas Aquinas a Doctor of the Church. As a cardinal, Ghislieri gained a reputation for putting orthodoxy before personalities, prosecuting eight French bishops for heresy. He also stood firm against nepotism, rebuking his predecessor Pope Pius IV to his face when he wanted to make a 13-year-old member of his family a cardinal and subsidize a nephew from the papal treasury.

Tridentine Calendar
The Tridentine calendar is the calendar of saints to be honoured in the course of the liturgical year in the official liturgy of the Roman Rite as reformed by Pope Pius V and first issued in 1568, implementing a decision of the Council of Trent, which entrusted the task to the Pope. The text of the Tridentine calendar can be found in the original editions of the Tridentine Roman Breviary and of the Tridentine Roman Missal. Use of both these texts, which included Pius V's revised calendar, was made obligatory throughout the Latin Church except where other texts of at least two centuries' antiquity were in use, and departures from it were not allowed. The Apostolic Constitution ''Quod a nobis'', which imposed use of the Tridentine Roman Breviary, and the corresponding Apostolic Constitution ''Quo primum'' concerning the Tridentine Roman Missal both decreed: "No one whosoever is permitted to alter this letter or heedlessly to venture to go contrary to this notice of Our permission ...

Urbiztondo, Pangasinan
Urbiztondo, officially the Municipality of Urbiztondo (; ; ), is a municipality in the province of Pangasinan, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 55,557 people. History The municipality was named after General Juan Antonio de Urbiztondo y Eguía, the Spanish Governor-General of the Philippines from 1850 to 1853, who was also known as the conqueror of the Muslims in Jolo. He then issued a decree founding the town and consequently the newly formed town was named “Urbiztondo” in his honor. The town's establishment can be attributed to Fr. Ramon Dalmau, the parish priest of San Carlos (Binalatongan), who in 1852 began the process for its separation from San Carlos. While the area remained a visita of San Carlos for that year, the town of Urbiztondo was finally established as a separate entity on November 28, 1853, when it was assigned its own curate (parish priest). The Dominicans accepted Urbiztondo as a vicariate in 1855 and assigned Rev. Fath ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
