As pope, he prevented the development of Modernism, an intellectual movement gaining attention from Catholics. He also suppressed a political movement that calls for social reforms known as Christian democracy.[9]
Despite all of these, Pius X was known for his reforms on the Catholic liturgy.[9] He also decided to systemize the canon law[9] over which he announced a plan in March 19, 1904.[10] This led to the publication of a new code in 1917 under his successor, Pope Benedict XV.[9][10] This new code took effect in 1918.[9]
His papacy ended when he died on August 1914 due to a bronchial attack.[11]
