Boring ass papal name. Call me when we get an Urban or something

Pope Leo XIII (1878-1903)
Greatest achievement: Known for his social encyclicals, especially Rerum Novarum, which dealt with the issue of workers' rights and the need for social justice.

He was anti-communist "both sides" though.

From a class collaborationist, conservative perspective of course.

I read it for catechism, and while it's very much a piece of catholic doctrine from the 1800s, it has in it a lot of the seeds of the more socially involved movements within the church.
