Don't ya just love Pius X's candid fervor. He didn't mince words OR actions.

There's a lot to be said for plain speaking. His writing is sooooooo refreshing.

BTW, he is the reason why I refer more to my 1913 edition of the Catholic Encyclopedia that any other reference. I was fortunate enough to be able to find a complete set for $800.

A great treasure to pass along to your children some day. One of these days I'm going to get a hard cover Summa. Any advice there? New or used? What versions are the best?

I normally buy my books used. First, because they are out-of-print(most of them). And second, they are out-of-print, because the older they are the less of a chance they have of being tainted with modernist thought.
