Echoes of a Lion: Lessons from Leo XIII
Course 2 in the "Habemus Papam: The Dawn of Pope Leo XIV's Papacy" Series
When Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost was elected pope and chose the name Leo XIV, he cited his predecessor Leo XIII as a model for tackling the pressing structural, social, and ethical dilemmas of our time—just as Leo XIII did in the industrial age. In this thought-provoking four-session course, we'll delve into Leo XIII's groundbreaking encyclicals and writings, uncovering timeless wisdom on spirituality, workers' rights, family life, and moral innovation. Discover how his insights can guide Pope Leo XIV's potential approaches to 21st-century challenges like global inequality, biotechnological advances, and the rise of artificial intelligence.
