Pope Leo XIII

Pope Leo XIII (born Vincenzo Gioacchino Raffaele Luigi Pecci) served as the 256th Pope of the Catholic Church from 1878 to 1903, making him one of the longest-reigning popes in history. Born on March 2, 1810, in Carpineto, Italy, he died on July 20, 1903, in Rome. He is renowned for establishing modern Catholic social teaching through his landmark encyclical Rerum Novarum (1891), which addressed workers' rights and became a foundation of Catholic social doctrine. Leo XIII promoted Thomistic philosophy and worked to reconcile the Catholic Church with the modern world. more

“The empire of Christ the King includes not only Catholic nations, not only baptized persons who, though of right belonging to the Church, have been led astray by error, or have been cut off from her by schism, but also all those who are outside the Christian faith: so that truly the whole of mankind is subject to the power of Jesus Christ.”

“As Our Predecessors have many times repeated, let no man think that he may for any reason whatsoever join the Masonic sect, if he values his Catholic name and his eternal salvation as he ought to value them. Let no one be deceived by a pretense of honesty. It may seem to some that Freemasons demand nothing that is openly contrary to religion and morality; but, as the whole principle and object of the sect lies in what is vicious and criminal, to join with these men or in any way to help them cannot be lawful”
