Pope Leo XIII (1878-1903)
Greatest achievement: Known for his social encyclicals, especially Rerum Novarum, which dealt with the issue of workers' rights and the need for social justice.

I read it for catechism, and while it's very much a piece of catholic doctrine from the 1800s, it has in it a lot of the seeds of the more socially involved movements within the church.

He was anti-communist "both sides" though.
-
If I read the correct document earlier, Rerum Novarum had an extremely reactionary take on class struggle and essentially worshipped private property.

That's fairly accurate, yes. Now read up on Domingo Gutierrez to see the antithesis.
