Written by Fr. Bernard O'Reilly while that Pope was alive, and
based on a memoir furnished to him by the Holy See. Thus, this work
is nearly autobiographical, being based on the Pope's life as he
wished it to be written. Fr. O'Reilly, making copious use of the
Pope's Italian memoir, presents to us Gioacchino Pecci, the future
Leo XIII, in the midst of the dramatic and revolutionary changes
affecting the Church in both Italy and all Europe in the 19th
century. In all events, Pecci as priest, Bishop, Cardinal and later
Pope, fought courageously for the Universal Church with prudence,
humility and care, and above all defending his priests and the
sacrament of Marriage against the innovations of the
revolutionaries holding the seat of government throughout Europe.
In this book you see the future Leo XIII fight the revolution head
on in and how wrong the liberal view is that holds Mazzini and
Garibaldi as heroes, and, moreover, how tyrannical the new Italian
regime became in its persecution of the Church.
