   The new pope's name is hugely significant. Pope Leo XIII was the founder of modern Catholic social teaching, a prophet of economic justice: https://osf.io/preprints/osf/jhrmd_v1

   And an enemy of (real) antisemitism.

   May peace with justice roar with this lion.

     @mpjgregoire At a time when European Catholics were fuming in the Dreyfus affair, Leo XIII was a rare voice who opposed antisemitism vigorously.

     @ntnsndr What do you mean by "an enemy of (real) antisemitism"? I know about Rerum Novarum, but I don't know what Leo XIII had to say about Jews or Judaism.
