| Summary |
An incredibly detailed biography, this 1883 text includes information on Pope Leo XIII's election, policies, reign, coronation, death and burial. Pope Leo XIII reigned from 1878 to 1903. Serving as pope until the age of 93, Leo XIII is the oldest pope to have ever reigned and has the third-longest pontificate behind Pius IX and John Paul II. Known for his attempts to define the Church's position in regard to modern issues, Leo XIII was the first pope to fully promote the idea of the Virgin Mary as an intercessor for Christ. |
