Pope Leo XIII was born in 1810. At that time James Madison was president of the United States and Napoleon was master of Europe. This remarkable film was shot in 1896.

Something non-political for a Sunday.

By the way, this YouTube poster (Nineteenth Century Videos. Back to Life) has a nice collection of old films that have been colorized. Check out his YouTube channel if you are interested.

Colorization has come a long way since its inception!

A well-known photograph of President John Quincy Adams, who was born in 1767, was taken by Mathew Brady sometime between 1843 and 1848.

Pope mobile hasn’t evolved much.

Oh. The oldest person to appear in a moving picture.

Back in the day when the Pope was actually a Christian.

The Catholic Church is now run by Satan.

Yes. The YouTube poster used the word “film”, so I did too. But “movie” would have been a better word.

If you look real close, you can see one of the Soldiers making bunny ears behind the head of another Soldier.

Fascinating video. I'm surprised to learn that a video camera and video film was available in 1896. Thanks for posting.

Some of the comments on YouTube are hilarious. People are putting 21st Century popular Internet culture onto that 19th Century video. It's kind of the reverse of the way Wokesters today destroy people who lived centuries ago for the norms of those times.

If this Pope could speak through the video he would say: "Don't forget to pound that like button and subscribe for more videos".

"Once we hit 1 Million followers of Christ, we’re gonna be giving away 1,000 NEW BAPTISMS and will include a FREE BIBLE with every baptism."

"...and a John the Baptist coffee mug!"

"Don´t forget to buy my new Holy Water 1900 and Papa Leo T-shirt."

"Before we begin the sermon, I'd like to thank today's sponsor, ExpressVPN."

"Wassup, Believers? Don't forget to like and subscribe"

"Today we are going to canonize Rita of Cascia, but before we get to that, we are going to do an unboxing of her body. Don't forget to ring the bell and leave your like!"

"Please consider joining my Patreon, joining my Twitter, and becoming a member of the Catholic Church."

Theodore and his brother, Elliot, watch Abraham Lincoln’s funeral procession passing their grandfather’s mansion in Union Square, Manhattan, April 1865. Theodore and Elliott are in the second-floor window facing the camera.

He looks like somebody you don’t want to argue with.

Uh, you know it was shot on film and not video right? No video in 1896.

Theodore and Elliot who?

You can see him saying “Let’s go Brandon” to one of the Cardinals.
