Pope Leo XIII

Pope Leo XIII (Italian: Leone XIII), born Vincenzo Gioacchino Raffaele Luigi Pecci (2 March 1810 – 20 July 1903) to an Italian comital family, reigned as Pope from 20 February 1878 to his death in 1903. He was the oldest pope (reigning until the age of 93), and had the third longest pontificate, behind that of Pius IX (his immediate predecessor) and John Paul II. He is the most recent pontiff to date to take the pontifical name of "Leo" upon being elected to the pontificate.

He is well known for his intellectualism, the development of social teachings with his famous papal encyclical Rerum novarum and his attempts to define the position of the Catholic Church with regard to modern thinking. He influenced Roman Catholic Mariology and promoted both the rosary and the scapular.

Leo XIII issued a record of eleven Papal encyclicals on the rosary earning him the title as the "Rosary Pope". In addition, he approved two new Marian scapulars and was the first pope to fully embrace the concept of Mary as Mediatrix. He was the first pope to never have held any control over the Papal States, after they were dissolved by 1870. He died on 20 July 1903 at the age of 93 and was briefly buried in the grottos of Saint Peter's Basilica before his remains were later transferred to the Basilica of Saint John Lateran.

Famous quotes by Pope Leo XIII:

"God is not only true, but Truth itself"
"Hence from all we have hitherto said, it is clear beloved Catholics that we cannot approve the opinions which some (Protestants, Jews, and other heretics) comprise under the head of Americanism (freedom)"
"Divorce is born of perverted morals and leads to vicious habits"
"Each needs the other: capital cannot do without labor, nor labor without capital"
"It is quite unlawful to demand, defend, or to grant unconditional freedom of thought, or speech, of writing or worship, as if these were so many rights given by nature to man"

Pui Bella Cosa

by: Eros Ramazzotti

Com'è cominciata io non saprei
La storia infinita con te
Che sei diventata la mia lei
Di tutta una vita per me
Ci vuole passione con te - e un briciolo di pazzia
Ci vuole pensiero perciò
Lavoro di fantasia
Ricordi la volta che ti cantai
Fu subito un brivido si
Ti dico una cosa se non la sai
Per me vale ancora cosi
Ci vuole passione con te
Non deve mancare mai
Ci vuole mestiere perchè
Lavoro di cuore lo sai
Cantare d'amore non basta mai
Ne servirà di più
Per dirtelo ancora per dirti che
Più bella cosa non c'è
Più bella cosa di te
Unica come sei
Immensa quando vuoi
Grazie di esistere
Com'è che non passa con gli anni miei
La voglia infinita di te
Cos'è quel mistero che ancora sei
Che porto qui dentro di me
Saranno i momenti che ho
Quegli attimi che mi dai
Saranno parole però
Lavoro di voce lo sai
Cantare d'amore non basta mai
Ne servirà di più
Per dirtelo ancora per dirti che
Più bella cosa non c'è
Più bella cosa di te
Unica come sei
Immensa quando vuoi
Grazie di esistere
