Pope Leo XIII
Pope Leo XIII, born Vincenzo Gioacchino Raffaele Luigi Pecci in 1810, served as pope from 1878 to 1903. He is best known for his encyclical 'Rerum Novarum,' which addressed the conditions of the working class during the rise of industrialization, advocating for workers' rights and the importance of a living wage. His papacy is significant for its emphasis on social justice and the Church's engagement with contemporary societal issues. Leo XIII was also an accomplished diplomat and a proponent of science, as evidenced by his re-founding of the Vatican Observatory and his efforts to connect the Church with modern thought. His legacy continues to influence Catholic social teaching today.
