Pope Leo XIII. Rerum Novarum (an inspiration for Pope Leo XIV). A Reposting
Update: 2025-05-08
Description
Are you interested in why the new pope took the name of an old pope? Is he sending us a message?
Leo XIII was a modernizing pope whose most famous encyclical (1891) was called Rerum Novarum (New Things). This is a class lecture that I delivered on that encyclical. I discussed key passages and why it was so important.
ps. Don't miss my last podcast on why I am running for pope. It is not what you might think. Perhaps it should have been named "Things I would like to see in a Pope."
