Pope Leo XIII was such a genius. I feel incredibly blessed to see video footage of a man I have so much respect for.
ReplyDeleteWow... This is the very Pope that St Thérèse de Lisieux went to see so she could enter Carmel at 15.
ReplyDeleteGod reward you, Mr Madrid!
The Holy Father crossed his legs! How unusual!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mr Madrid.
This is a rare treat. Pope Leo XIII was an important pope who foresaw Americanism but was ignored.
ReplyDeleteA minor point this might be video now but it is early motion picture film converted to video. Strictly speaking ...
A great Pope of the Rosary!!! His Encyclical letters are masterpieces!
ReplyDeleteLeo XIII is the father of modern Catholic Social Justice.
