Quotes about Pope Leo II
Not only was he learned himself, but he was an earnest teacher of others, and he was at once a preacher and a doer of good works. For he was a lover of poverty and the poor. In a word, he was both pious and hard working.
Horace Kinder Mann, The Lives of the Popes in the Early Middle Ages (1902)
