 | | Leo XIII was able to see the dawn of the new century but he knew within his heart that he would not live to see any of the events he realized were inevitable. | | | Leo's were a forerunner for all the modern Popes which have been elevated to a higher level by John Paul's attention to all God's children in emphasizing human dignity and the Sanctity of Life. | | | Leo identified the Church's role in the world by stating that the Church is not only collectively, but individually identified with the masses. |

| | Apparitions of Mary - Some Recent Papal Visionaries - Pope Leo XIII, Pope Pius XII, Pope John Paul II |
| | Leo was so shaken by the spectre of the destruction of moral and spiritual values both inside and outside the Church, that he composed a prayer which was to be said at the end of each Mass celebrated anywhere in the Catholic Church. | | | In 1989, Sister Lucia told one of her relatives that the Consecration conducted by Pope John Paul and the bishops in 1984 was accepted by Heaven and Russia would be converted. | | | If such a consecration could be again be performed, this time with the bishops of the Church and with a special mention of Russia in the words of dedication, then the tribulations which he saw in his visions could be mitigated. |

| | Leo's election brought a turn in the course of the papacy; he was abreast of the times and tried, especially by preaching to the whole church, in encyclical letters, to form Roman Catholic attitudes appropriate to living in the modern world. | | | • Popes of the Roman Catholic Church (table) | | | He encouraged Bible study and set up (1902) the permanent Biblical Commission. |

| | Leo further separated himself from those who would tie the Church to one form of government ("the right to rule is not necessarily, however, tied to one special form of government"), thus alienating both the extreme monarchists and the disciples of Lamennais. | | | Leo made it clear that the government is considered by the Church to be a natural institution. | | | God and religion had been declared dead (each new pope was proclaimed the last) and in their place the vying ideologues opted for agnosticism, atheism, darwinism, liberalism, materialism, nationalism, positivism, rationalism, or whatever other persuasion happened to sell best that month in the market place of ideas. |

| | The Pope notes the advantage of the unrestricted activity of the Church to the social order, decries the separation of Church and state and other crimes against the Church, which are signs of an attempt to destroy Religion. | | | Leo calls the bishops to be good pastors, decries religious indifferentism, and condemns the Bible Society for distributing indiscriminately its own translations of the Bible to the common people, without regard for the possibility of misinterpretation. | | | The Pope covers the advantages and benefits which accrue from it to the family and to human society itself, errors contrary to this most important point of the Gospel teaching, vices opposed to conjugal union, and the principal remedies to be applied. |

| | Catholic Culture : Document Library : Pope Leo XIII's Message to America |
| | However, in such collaboration on the basis of natural religious truths and the precepts of the natural law, perceptible by human reason, there is no weakening of the principle that the Catholic Church alone is the authorized and infallible depositary of the supernatural religion that Almighty God has revealed for all mankind. | | | Thus, in his Christmas message of 1942, Pope Pius XII summoned to the crusade for the purification and rebirth of society "all those who are united with us, at least by the bond of faith in God". | | | Catholics of present-day America can profitably find in the apostolic letter of Leo XIII a reminder of the care they must exercise lest their faith suffer from the spirit of religious indifferentism that is so prevalent in our land today. |

| | Pope Leo XIII on True Liberty |
| | The Popes did not teach that what Jews and heretics believed, and the manner in which they worshipped, in private could be tolerated. | | | It must be admitted frankly that during the history of the Church this principle has sometimes been violated, but where attempts to force individuals to accept the Catholic faith have occurred it has been a violation of the true Catholic teaching. | | | The Church condemns democracy in the sense that those who govern do so not as delegates of God, but as delegates of the people who elected them; and that they are bound to legislate in accordance with the wishes of the majority. |

| | In 1880 relations with the Belgian Government were again broken off à propos of the school question, on the pretext that the pope was lending himself to duplicity, encouraging the bishops to resist, and pretending to the Government that he was urging moderation. | | | Gioacchino Vincenzo Raffaele Luigi was the sixth of the seven sons of Count Lodovico Pecci and his wife Anna ProsperiBuzi. | | | He desired complete independence for the Holy See, and consequently its restoration as a real sovereignty. |

| | In the meantime the Pope addressed "to the English people who seek the Kingdom of God in the Unity of Faith" a letter (Ad Anglos, 1895) fervently exhorting them to re-union. | | | The findings of the Commission on Anglican Orders, were, however, completely opposed to their validity and by the decree Apostolicae Curae (13th September, 1896) Pope Leo made it clear that there was no hope of the Anglican Church's return to unity by that path. | | | He encouraged by every means in his power devotion to the Sacred Heart and his encyclicals on the Holy Ghost, the Rosary and St.Joseph are monuments not only of theological learning and mature wisdom but of deep personal devotion and burning apostolic zeal. |

| | Pope Leo XIII's Original Prayer to St. Michael |
| | Therefore, Pope Leo’s prayer foresaw the attempted destruction of the deposit of faith with Vatican II and the new sacramental rites of the Vatican II Church. | | | Composed over 100 years ago, and then suppressed due to its startling content, Pope Leo XIII’s original Prayer to St. Michael is one of the most interesting and controversial prayers relating to the present situation in which the true Catholic Church finds itself. | | | However, the point is that it is not the original Prayer to St. Michael that Pope Leo XIII composed and ordered to be recited at the end of every Low Mass. |

| | These prayers were commonly referred to as “prayers after Mass,” and sometimes as “the Leonine prayers,” since it was the great Pope Leo XIII who instituted them at the end of the 19th century. | | | It is a shortened version of this prayer that has become familiar to us as the prayer Pope Leo XIII himself prescribed in the same year for recitation, along with the Marian prayers, after every low Mass throughout the Latin-rite Church. | | | In 1934, Pope Pius XI asked that they be prayed especially for the conversion of Russia and for the Church in Russia. |

| | It enunciated the late 19th-century Roman Catholic position on social justice, especially in relation to the problems created by the Industrial Revolution, and it emphasized the church's right to make pronouncements on social issues as they related... | | | In fact, he lived to govern the church for 25 years. | | | Although Leo XIII was no less conservative in his theological inclinations than his predecessor, his positive appreciation of the church's opportunities in modern society gave his pontificate a significantly different cast from that of Pius. |

| | As Cardinal-Bishop of Perugia, he insisted on religious instruction and on the study of Aquinas. | | | First, the encyclical divided the world into two camps, the Holy Catholic Church which followed Jesus Christ--and then everyone else who, Leo wrote, followed Satan. | | | Historians understand the Pope's refounding of a new Latin Sepulchre Order to be a part of his ongoing plans to introduce and strengthen Roman Catholic practice among the Faithful, with the Equestrian Sepulchre Knights leading the way as faithful adherents of the Latin Church. |

| | This perhaps explains why, becoming pope in 1878, chiefly because he was not expected to live long (he was just shy of age 68), Leo had great difficulty reconciling the Church to the modern world. | | | Leo especially objected to things we take for granted today: free elections, secular public education, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of association, freedom of the press, separation of church and state, legal divorce and equality before the law. | | | As cardinal, he was a disaster in diplomatic missions — this according to his official Catholic biographer.* As pope, Leo lost more Catholic communicants than the Reformation, both by refusing to recognize the French Republic until it was too late, and by repudiating the Italian Government. |
