The life
Pope Leo XIII, born Gioacchino Vincenzo Raffaele Luigi Pecci, was head of the Catholic Church from 1878 until his death in 1903.
He served as a papal administrator, nuncio, archbishop, cardinal and Camerlengo before being elected pope after Pius IX.
His papacy is especially associated with Catholic social teaching, Thomism, Marian devotion, church-state relations and the 1891 encyclical Rerum novarum.
