 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope Leo X
A lampoon proclaimed that "Leo X had consumed three pontificates; the treasure of Julius II, the revenues of his own reign, and those of his successor." It is proper, however, to pay full credit to the good qualities of Leo.
Leo tried, as Nicholas V had formerly done, to increase the treasures of the Vatican Library, and with this object sent emissaries in all directions, even to Scandinavia and the Orient, to discover literary treasures and either obtain them, or borrow them for the purpose of making copies.
Leo's attitude towards the imperial succession was influenced primarily by his anxiety concerning the power and independence of the Holy See and the so-called freedom of Italy.

 FT October 2003: Two Popes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Leo saw the potential across the seas toward the end of his pontificate, when he wrote that while “all the nations which were Catholic for many centuries give cause for sorrow,” the state of the Church in the United States “cheers our heart and fills it with delight” (In Amplissimo, 1902).
Leo would, in preparation for the Holy Year of 1900, consecrate the whole world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus—a pious act that also had political overtones, insofar as devotion to the Sacred Heart was favored by those who rejected the secularizing ideologies regnant in northern Europe, especially France.
Leo’s point of departure for his social teaching was the condition of the suffering workers, and he sought remedies that would secure their dignity.

In all probability, therefore, it was continued correspondence on this matter which caused the delay of the imperial confirmation of Leo's election, and hence the long postponement of his consecration.
The most important act accomplished by Leo in his short pontificate was his confirmation of the acts of the Sixth Oecumenical Council (680-1).
After Leo had notified the emperor that the decrees of the council had been confirmed by him, he proceeded to make them known to the nations of the West.

 Catholic Apologetics International - Robert Sungenis
That is, it is not to be gleaned from Leo II’s remarks that Honorius stood idly by, but that he took an active part in propagating the error (although, as Agatho said, he did it as a private citizen, not as one assuming his “papal authority”).
That later councils followed the lead of Leo II is seen in the fact that the Trullo council, and the seventh and eighth ecumenical councils mentioned Honorius by name and pronounced anathemas upon him.
According to Pope Leo II, Honorius did indeed know of Monothelitism, which is why Leo II said in his condemnation of Honorius: “Honorius, who did not attempt to sanctify this apostolic Church with the teaching of apostolic tradition…” How could Pope Leo II accuse Honorius of not abiding by the tradition if Honorius, as Mr.

 K5OE, Eggbeater II Antenna
The TPM improved the coaxial gain of the eggbeater by re-shaping the loop into a square and moving the reflector closer to the driven element.
A couple of data points worth noting are, compared to directly overhead, a typical LEO satellite has about 6 dB in free-space path loss at 30 degrees, and another 6 dB at the horizon.
This implies an ideal omni-directional antenna would have an elevation pattern that was -6 dB from 30 degrees to 90 degrees--focusing the gain from the horizon up to 30 degrees elevation--where you need it the most--but without the deep overhead null presented by high-gain verticals.

 Pope St. Leo II, Plinio Correa de Oliveira commentary on the Saint of the Day, July 3 @ TraditionInAction.org
St. Leo II (682-683), Pope and confessor, approved the documents of the Sixth Ecumenical Council (Third Council of Constantinople) which had been convened by Pope St. Agatho, his antecessor.
Monothelism was condemned by the successors of Pope Honorius: Pope Severinus (640-640) formally condemned it, Pope John IV (640-642) and Pope Theodore I (642-649) excommunicated Pyrrhus, patriarch of Constantinople, for defending the same error.
He approved the conclusions of the Sixth Ecumenical Council, which condemned the pope, who, according to the words of St. Leo II “instead of purifying the Apostolic Church, permitted the immaculate to be maculated by a profane treason.” Pope Leo II affirmed this about his antecessor, Pope Honorius.
