A Man and Bishop of Extraordinary Caliber
Pope Leo XIII lived during an era when the beauty, order, and moral force of the Christian world was assaulted on all sides and undermined, to the great detriment of civilized society everywhere. Read this book to help understand how our modern world came to be so corrupt. "The Gospel," the Pope wrote, "is the only code in which are found the principles of true justice, the maxim of that mutual charity which ought to unite all men as the sons of one Father and the members of the same family... It is because society has lost sight of, neglected and mistaken the religious principles that it sees itself now shaken to its very foundation. To restore those principles and to give them back their strength of influence over the human race are the only means of reestablishing society on a sound basis, and of peace, order and prosperity. It is the mission of the Church to preach and so spread these principles and the doctrines throughout the world."
Modern Bishops may read this book for a holy example of how to comport themselves with the Church's enemies.
