    This pope was 17 when Beethoven died, 39 when Chopin died, 18 when Schubert died, 46 when Schumann died, 87 when Brahms died, 76 when Liszt died. In other words, this Pope was able to witness some of the greatest composers to have lived, perform, premiere their newest compositions and read about them not as historical figures but as current peers. It’s truly an extraordinary thing to think of.

      Likewise, Pope Leo died when my great-grandmother was a young girl as well, just five days shy of her 9th birthday. It always amazes me to think of all the technological advancements she saw in her lifetime, from radio and television, to the dawn of aviation and the birth of the modern auto industry. Not to mention the leaps and bounds taken in the fields of science and medicine. The age we live in now would truly fall into the realms of science fiction to those in that time period.

      I do not know about hatred but, along with the appreciation for the priceless video, I felt profound sadness for the misguided souls who are bowing to a mere man. For those who believe in the Bible, the inerrant Word of God, it states we are to bow to no one. It also starts that there is ONE mediator between God and man, and that is Christ Jesus. The Bible also states that we are not saved by our works, but by the finished work of Christ on the cross, when he died and rose again for us to have redemption, ‘ NOT of works lest any man should boast’. I feel no hatred, only abject sorrow for the outpouring of worship for a man who, without the repentance and faith in CHRIST, not himself, is without forgiveness of his sin and is not ‘holy’, nor is he an intercession between God and man. Not hatred, sorrow. And deeply grateful for this video footage to remind us of ‘thus sayeth the Lord’.

Haha, nope, having the Pope to throw his hat to his assistants like slaves, in front of a camera , today ?? Haha, and not just religious subjects, everything else and life was normal and NATURAL, today everything is just staged and everything has to be CORRECT cause it’s on record, I’m not just talking about cameras, it is just registered in any type of form, and all of that makes existence very scripted, anything that anyone ever does these days has to be CORRECT, and im not talking about the 2010’s, this whole scripted reality has been going since the 1920s/1930’s, nothing is normal now, natural or free now. And I noticed a 99% of straight men is fine with this new reality. Seriously u think u can just shove us under a carpet ?? LMAO.

    Born in the age of Napoleon, ushered in the reign of Victoria, saw a unified Germany under Bismarck and Italy under Victor Emmanuel II, and spent his twilight in the dawn of the Edwardian era. Not only did Leo XIII live through one of the most eventful centuries of European and World history, but he also set several papal precedents including being the first pope to be voice-recorded and here in 1896 with filming. Only Pius IX had the honour of being the first pontiff to be photographed in 1878 shortly before his death in February of that year.
    This piece of film should also make us humble our understandings of those who lived before our time. It permits us to have a newer understanding of our ancestors and their lives. I have seldom seen individuals today with the amount of profound respect shown in this film to Leo XIII; Times have changed, and so have our manners.

As to profound respect, try "pathetic, grovelling obsequiousness to power". Thankfully we don't put up with that shit any more and don't worship religious frauds as if they are deities any more.

What makes me sad is it’s only now I realize I should have asked her more questions. There was no language barrier but I was so young. I still though have vivid memories of going to my great-grandmother’s house and exploring all these technological trinkets I didn’t know 😂.
