Yeah. Though the cool thing about Pope Leo is that he chose as his name, the name of the Pope who wrote Rerum Novarum which is the foundation of the pro-labor, capitalism critical Catholic Social Teaching which has been the official teaching of the church since-& is the basis of all these.

Well, the majority of the Popes since Leo XIII were named Pius (Pius IX was the reactionary that put together Vatican I & I think X thru XII were emulating him) and this is the first Leo since then. ALSO when we were in seminary in the 70s Catholic Social Teaching was all the rage.
