Excellent review of Leo’s place in history, which will undoubtedly evolve as the foil to Trump in the contest between US American world leaders. I’m surprised you didn’t mention Paul VI, whose papacy and personality seem to me to have some resemblance to Leo. Both intellectuals, both managing a time of delicate transition (Paul had to contain the John XXIII revolution) and both identifying with the poor within a system they understood was skewed toward the rich.
