  6 4         |            we have but to consider St. Leo in his three main characteristic

 17 10        |       Doctor of divine grace," and St. Cyril as "Doctor of the
 18 10        |          Word."; By the same token St. Leo is universally proclaimed
 19 16        |             Not content with this, St. Leo, having made perfectly
 20 18        |                            18. But St. Leo's principal title to
 21 19        |                                19. St. Leo's delay in ratifying
 22 20        |          Emperor, is not clear. To St. Leo, it appeared to undermine
 23 23        |       testimony to the accuracy of St. Leo's prophetic vision,
 24 24        |           two further instances of St. Leo's unfailing solicitude
 25 25        |        defender of the true faith, St. Leo is honored also as

 28 32        |                  32. In very truth St. Leo's life-long endeavor

 30 35        |          briefly recalling to mind St. Leo's high ideals regarding
 31 36        |                         36. First, St. Leo teaches that the Church
 32 37        |                             37. In St. Leo's view, this remarkable

 34 39        |            sacrament of Baptism-as St. Leo rightly claims-makes
 35 39        |            Confirmation, called by St. Leo "sanctification by
 36 39        |     perfects this union. "For," as St. Leo says, "the reception

 38 42        |                                42. St. Leo, therefore, maintained
 39 42        |           the Catholic Church. And St. Leo's opinion is clearly
 40 43        |                      43. And since St. Leo regarded this indissoluble

 42 45        |                     45. Applied to St. Peter this pronouncement
 43 45        |         enough; yet unhesitatingly St. Leo claims the same prerogative
 44 47        |          that he did not mean that St. Peter had no further influence
 45 49        |             Nor must we think that St. Leo was preaching a doctrine
