The greatest Leo, AI and wars

There are three great Pope Leos. And the greatest will be the new pope, Leo XIV, aka Robert Francis Prevost — "Rob" to his two elder brothers and "Bob" to other relatives, friends and the religious community; His Holiness to all of us Catholics, good and bad.

Pope Leo I. As the bishop of Rome, he repelled an invasion by Attila the Hun, ruler of the Huns from 434 to 453, and one of the most feared enemies of the Western and Eastern Roman empires. He conquered northern Italy but was unable to conquer Rome because Pope Leo I talked him out of it. That simple. Attila had a vision of the Saints Peter and Paul, carrying drawn swords and threatening Attila if he dared to attack the city of Rome, says Wikipedia.

Pope Leo XIII. He authored in 1891 the 14,175-word "Rerum Novarum" ("Of New Things"), the encyclical that deplored the plight of the 19th century urban poor and denounced unrestricted naked capitalism. "It enunciated the late 19th century Roman Catholic position on social justice, especially in relation to the problems created by the Industrial Revolution, and it emphasized the church's right to make pronouncements on social issues as they related to moral questions," says Britannica.

"The Church recognizes that the lack of workers' unions contributed to an unjust situation where many work in conditions little better than slavery. One solution proposed by socialists was to eliminate private property altogether," says the California Catholic Conference.
