Pope Leo XIII Humanized the Church

 


Pope Leo XIII, Vincenzo Gioacchino Pecci, was elected pope in 1878, during a time the Vatican was losing power. He focused on shaping the Church’s moral and social influence.

His most famous work, Rerum Novarum (1891), tackled the struggle of workers in the Industrial Revolution. It defended workers’ rights and fair wages, earning him fans with workers and reformers.
He promoted scholarship, opened the Vatican Archives to researchers, and encouraged dialogue between science and religion.
