Life
Pope Leo the Great (c. 400–461) led the Church through a turbulent age and is honored as a Doctor of the Church. His Tome shaped the Council of Chalcedon's definition of Christ as one person in two natures, divine and human. Famed for his eloquence and courage, he met Attila the Hun and persuaded him to spare Rome. His feast is November 10.
