Pope Leo XIII, marxism and modernism

An interesting figure in the development of the Church's relationships to modern philosophy is Pope Leo XII. He identified the flaws in Marxism, as well as the errors in the way workers were treated in his encyclcal Rerum Novarum. He also set up a school of Thomistic philosophy at the University of Louvain to discuss and study the issues brought up by modernism.
