The Great Encyclical Letters of Pope Leo XIII, translated from approved sources.

Preface The popular demand for the encyclicals and apostolical letters of a Roman pontiff is something so novel as to constitute of itself a proof of the esteem in which he is held.

This admiration for Fauchelevent became widespread, for it made its way to Rome.

We have seen a note addressed by the then reigning Pope Leo XII to one of his relatives, a monsignor in the nuncio's establishment in Paris, and bearing like himself the name of Della Ghinga.

It contained these lines.

It would seem that whatever is written of Leo XIII, in books or newspapers, instead of satisfying the universal desire for knowledge of him, only inspires the wish to know more, and the conclusion that the writings of a man of such powers and worldwide sympathies must contain messages of interest and benefit to all humanity.

But then came one last remarkable episode.

Vincent moved to Rome and became a close advisor to Pope Leo XII.

In 1823, the newly elected Pope became gravely ill.

According to Passionist tradition, Vincent celebrated mass and offered his own life to God in exchange for Leo's recovery.

Pope Boniface VIII and his bull Unum Sanctum said that it is necessary for salvation that every creature be subject to the Roman pontiff.

Pope Leo XII said that anyone separated from the Roman Catholic Church however unblameable in other respects, has no part in eternal life.

In the Syllabus of Errors, now there are 80 of them, written in 1864 by Pius IX, it says that eternal salvation of any out of the true church is not even to be hoped for.

Priests vow to defend this syllabus when ordained.
