Pope Leo XIII

Pope

Pope from 1878 to 1903; with the encyclical Rerum Novarum (1891) he founded the social doctrine of the Church.

«Neither unbridled capitalism nor socialism: a fair wage, workers' associations and widespread property.»

In short

On the traditional scale, Pope Leo XIII sits in the authoritarian center camp. The clearest positions are on religion: strongly towards “religion”; society: strongly towards “tradition”; method: strongly towards “reform”; state: fairly towards “authority”. On sovereignty, environment and technology it stays balanced. Among ideologies, the closest is christian democracy (94%).
