We trace how Leo XIII led through upheaval with prayer, intellect, and courage, shaping Catholic social teaching while renewing devotion to the Sacred Heart, the rosary, and the power of Scripture. His vision shows a path where justice, reason, and worship move as one.

• election after loss of Papal States and rise of secularism
• Rerum Novarum on workers’ rights and just wages
• revival of Thomistic philosophy for faith and reason
