  • It's been more than a hundred years since the last pope named Leo,

  • and today the Vatican announced a Chicago-born missionary,

  • picked to be the next pope, will be taking the name Leo XIV.

  • Sylvia Poggioli is in Rome and has more on the history of the name chosen by the man who will succeed Pope Francis.

  • The last Leo was Leo XIII, and he was known for his 1891 encyclical Rerum Novarum, of new things.

  • In it, he outlined the rights of workers to fair wages,

  • safe working conditions, and the creation of trade unions.

  • The document also affirmed the right to own property, free enterprise,

  • and it was opposed to both socialism and laissez-faire capitalism.

  • Leo XIII was called the social pope or the workers' pope,

  • and he is really seen as the founder of the Catholic Church's social doctrine.

  • Leo was the first American pope,

  • and public remarks today emphasize peace, dialogue, and missionary work.

  • The Pope was born in Chicago but attended Villanova University in Philadelphia.
