TradCatKnight: Pope St. Leo I: The First Pope to Be Called “Great,” and Why?Place and date of birth unknown; died 10 November, 461. (Reigned 440-61).
Leo’s pontificate, next to that of St. Gregory I, is the most significant and important in Christian antiquity. At a time when the Church was experiencing the greatest obstacles to her progress in consequence of the hastening disintegration of the Western Empire, while the Orient was profoundly agitated over dogmatic controversies, this great pope, with far-seeing sagacity and powerful hand, guided the destiny of the Roman and Universal Church. tradcatknight.blogspot.com/2016/11/pope-st-leo-i-first-pope-to-be-called.html#more
