Nel maggio 1891 Leone XIII dà alle stampe un'enciclica destinata a cambiare il mondo: la Rerum Novarum. Contro un modello basato sullo sfruttamento dei lavoratori e sull'arricchimento di pochi ai danni di molti, il Papa ribadiva la centralità della dignità umana e la necessità della solidarietà, facendo interloquire il Cristianesimo con le nuove sfide sociali ed economiche. Centoventiquattro anni più tardi, nel maggio 2025, Robert Francis Prevost è stato eletto Papa e ha scelto di chiamarsi Leone.

De levde frånkopplade från omvärlden och utsattes konstant för hot och våld. Pappan fick senare öknamnet ”pastorn” i tidningarna när han dömdes till fängelse för vad han utsatt sina familjemedlemmar för.
