Pope Leo XIII Quotes

These monstrous views ... these venomous teachings.

Pope Leo XIII

Once the demands of necessity and propriety have been met, the rest that one owns belongs to the poor.

Pope Leo XIII

To refuse any bond of union between man and civil society, on the one hand, and God the Creator and consequently the supreme Law-giver, on the other, is plainly repugnant to the nature, not only of man, but of all created things; for, of necessity, all effects must in some proper way be connected with their cause; and it belongs to the perfection of every nature to contain itself within that sphere and grade which the order of nature has assigned to it, namely, that the lower should be subject and obedient to the higher.
