	Pope Leo I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An uncompromising foe of heresy, Leo found that in the diocese of Aquileia, Pelagians were received into church communion without formal repudiation of their errors; he wrote to rebuke this culpable negligence, and required a solemn abjuration before a synod.
		Leo enforced his authority in 445 against Dioscurus, Cyril's successor in the patriarchate of Alexandria, insisting that the ecclesiastical practise of his see should follow that of Rome; since Mark, the disciple of Peter and founder of the Alexandrian Church, could have had no other tradition than that of the prince of the apostles.
		In 444 Leo laid down in a letter to them the principle that Peter had received the primacy and oversight of the whole Church as a requital of his faith, and that thus all important matters were to be referred to and decided by Rome.

	Pope Leo XIII - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pope Leo XIII, born Vincenzo Gioacchino Raffaele Luigi Pecci (March 2, 1810 – July 20, 1903), was Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, having succeeded Pope Pius IX (1846–78) on February 20, 1878 and reigning until his death in 1903.
		Leo XIII was also the first Pope to come out strongly in favour of the French Republic, upsetting many French monarchists, but his support for democracy did not necessarily imply his acceptance of egalitarianism: "People differ in capacity, skill, health, strength; and unequal fortune is a necessary result of unequal condition.
		Leo XIII's regnal length was subsequently exceeded by that of Pope John Paul II on March 14, 2004.

	Pope St. Leo I (the Great)
		Leo at the same time ordered that a council of bishops belonging to the neighbouring provinces should be convened to institute a rigid enquiry, with the object of determining whether any of the bishops had become tainted with the poison of this heresy.
		Leo was no less active in the spiritual elevation of the Roman congregations, and his sermons, of which ninety-six genuine examples have been preserved, are remarkable for their profundity, clearness of diction, and elevated style.
		Leo died on 10 November, 461, and was buried in the vestibule of St. Peter's on the Vatican.

	Pope Leo X
		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.
		The magnificent pope was given a simple funeral and not until the reign of Paul III was a monument erected to his memory in the Church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva.

		The election of Pope Alexander VI took him back to Rome for the conclave (assembly of cardinals to elect the pope); otherwise he lived in Florence until he was exiled in November 1494 with the other members of the Medici family on the charge of their betraying the republic.
		Leo X, who inherited the council before it was a year old, was little inclined to preside over the sweeping reforms that the church so desperately needed on the eve of the Protestant Reformation.
		Leo X was not only the head of the Christian Church, he was also the temporal ruler of the Papal States and head of the Medici family that ruled the Florentine republic.

	Biography – Pope Leo IV – The Papal Library
		Leo IV had, in 850, crowned Louis II as emperor, or rather as associate in the empire, and he lived constantly in good understanding with him, as well as with Lothaire, the still living father of Louis.
		Leo built, at a short distance, a new city, but in the course of time it was deserted, and the inhabitants returned to the old Centum Cellae, to which they gave the name of Civita Vecchia (the old city), which it still bears.
		This pope was very learned; he united the rarest virtues, circumspection, munificence, piety, humanity, courage, and love of justice; he was beneficent to the poor, and fulfilled the duties of the pontifical ministry with the most exemplary exactitude.

	Pope Leo I
		Leo I, who alone of Roman pontiffs shares with Pope Gregory I the surname of "The Great", Pope from 440 to 461, was a native of Rome, or, according to a less probable account, of Volterra in Tuscany.
		The result of a correspondence was that Leo by his legates sent to Flavian that famous epistle in which he sets forth with great fulness of detail the doctrine ever since recognized as orthodox regarding the union of the two natures in the one person of Jesus Christ.
		The pope was less successful with Genseric when the Vandal chief arrived under the walls of Rome in 455, but he secured a promise that there should be no incendiarism or murder, and that three of the oldest basilicas should be exempt from plunder -- a promise which seems to have been faithfully observed.

	Pope Leo IX (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Pope Leo IX (1048-1054) objected to Patriarch Cerularius' closing of the Latinrite churches in Constantinople, but went over the head of the patriarch and complained to the Eastern Emperor himself.
		At any rate, the Pope, already a prisoner of the Normans, and with a head full of troubles with his own emperor, the Church in France and England, missionaries being persecuted, and lords and kings putting their nogood sons and nephews in as abbots and bishops, was probably not a little upset over Cerularius' apology.
		Among the things Pope Leo did while in prison, was to begin in earnest to acquire a speaking knowledge of Greek (his previous knowledge of Greek was New Testament Greek), the better to undertsand for himself what the Greeks were saying.

	Leo XIII, pope. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Leo’s election brought a turn in the course of the papacy; he was abreast of the times and tried, especially by preaching to the whole church, in encyclical letters, to form Roman Catholic attitudes appropriate to living in the modern world.
		His influence was increased by the length of his reign; thus he was able to furnish the college of cardinals with an unusual number of excellent men (including John Henry Newman in 1879 and James Gibbons in 1886).
		Leo’s program for society appeared in Rerum novarum (1891), an arraignment of capitalism that also showed the insufficiencies of Marxian socialism; it set up Catholic aims and ideals.

		The Church at Rome was badly in need of ecclesiastical reform before Pope Leo X and these new deceptive money-making schemes were the proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back." Luther responded by posting his ninety-five arguments for reform.
		The rest of Leo's life was a series of military treaties and alliances when he should have been correcting the religious turmoil that resulted from his own excesses and lack of focus.

		Leo was informed of this situation by St. Turibius, Bishop of Astorga in Spain.

		The Ecumenical Council of Constantinople (680-681) condemned Monothelism and Pope Honorius as a heretic.
		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.
