Dive into the profound insights of Pope Leo XIII, who reigned from 20 February 1878 until his passing in 1903 at the remarkable age of 93. Born Vincenzo Gioacchino Raffaele Luigi Pecci, he was not only the oldest pope in history but also one of the most intellectually vibrant, shaping modern Catholic social teachings through his groundbreaking encyclical, Rerum Novarum. Known affectionately as the Rosary Pope, he authored an impressive eleven encyclicals on the rosary alone. This collection brings together thirty of his most influential encyclicals and letters, addressing a rich tapestry of topics such as Christian marriage, socialism, communism, freemasonry, Anglican orders, and human liberty. Featured encyclicals include Inscrutabili, Rerum Novarum, Quod Apostolici Muneris, Humanum Genus, Arcanum Divinae, and Immortale Dei, among others.
