"The Holy Father was informed about the conclusions reached by the Commission
of Cardinals, and about the progress of the criminal procedures currently

ST. PIUS X AND THE OLYMPIC GAMES
Vatican City, 27 July 2012 (VIS) - It was 1908 when, in the wake of a serious
economic crisis, Rome renounced hosting the Olympic Games which were
eventually celebrated in London, England. In the same year Pierre de
Coubertin, the founder of the modern
Olympics, sought help from the Vatican to support the Games, and Pope St. Pius
X in person offered him his support.
More than one hundred years later, the British capital is hosting the Olympic
Games for the third time. The event is due to open this evening.
That moment at the beginning of the twentieth century is described in a book
entitled "Pio X e lo sport" by Antonella Stelitano. At that time "less than
one per cent of the population practised any sporting activity, ... and sport
was used only as a
form of military training or as a pastime for the upper classes", the author
explained in an interview with Vatican Radio.
However "St. Pius X ... was aware of the educational potential of sport". He
saw it as a way "to approach young people, and to bring them together while
following certain rules and showing respect for adversaries. I believe", the
author explained, "that
he understood that it was possible to bring people together simply, without
any problems of race, religion or differing political ideas".
At that time in history many people did not understand the importance of
exercise, said Antonella Stelitano who concluded her interview by recalling an
anecdote whereby Pius X told one of his cardinals: "All right, if it is
impossible to understand that
this can be done, then I myself will do exercise in front of everyone so that
they may see that, if the Pope can do it, anyone can do it".
