Talk:Pope Leo XIII

term: Papal bull
Shanedidona removed the use of the term bull, which derives from a Latin term and is not etymologically related to the other senses of the English word "bull"; thus not an insult. I'm fixing to revert. --Jim Henry | Talk 22:39, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Revert
'On February 20 1878, he was elected to succeed Pope Pius IX. His election was unusually quick, occuring on the exact day Pope Pius died. Thus, there was no sede vacante period between Pius IX and Leo XIII.'

This statement is downright incorrect. Pius IX expired on 7 February 1878. Mapple 18:40, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

His Holiness
There have been several reverts of "His Holiness" on this page by User:Mike H. referring to the fact that this title only applies to the current pope. I have reverted this edit after learning that no, it doesn't only apply to the current Pope, it can apply to all Popes throughout history. Regarding the actual inclusion of this honorific, I refer to the Dalai Lama's page where he is referred to as His Holiness but not when labeled on the page. I think that initially the title should be removed while used later in the article as it would vernacularly or in the titling of pictures, perhaps as a way of resolving this cross-article conflict. Also, maybe we could center this discussion on His Holiness instead of spreading it around to each individual pope?--The Grza 22:40, July 13, 2005 (UTC)

Help me
I made a cross-reference, citing the NYT, that Leao died younger than Benedict XVI, the oldest pope (emeritus). But I do not know if I inserted it correctly. Someone can help me, revising it? Thank you so much 2804:D41:F80B:8B00:B9BC:7D15:5FA8:9DAE (talk) 21:34, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
