Leo XIII
Leo XIII (1810 - 1903) was 257th Pope of Rome, born at Carpineto. He was distinguished at college in mathematics, physics, and philosophy. He took holy orders in 1837, was nuncio to Belgium in 1843, became bishop of Perugia in 1846, cardinal 1853, and Pope in 1878. He held to his rights as Pope both secular and spiritual, believed in the Catholic Church as the only regenerator of society, and hailed every show of encroach it makes on the domain of Protestantism as promise of its universal restoration.Wisdom & Quotes
