===Leo XIII===
{{see also-text|[[Liturgical Latinisation]]}}
In the late nineteenth century, Pope [[Leo XIII]] fostered inter-cultural diversity, leading to the reintegration of the [[Armenian Catholic Church]] into the Catholic Church in 1879.  He opposed efforts to Latinize the [[Eastern Catholic Churches|Eastern Rite]] Churches, saying that they constitute a most valuable ancient tradition and symbol of the divine unity of the Catholic Church. His 1894 encyclical ''Praeclara gratulationis'' praised the cultural and liturgical diversity of expressions of faith within the Church. In ''[[Orientalium Dignitas]]'' he repeated the need to preserve and cultivate diversity and declared different cultures to be a treasure.<ref name="Duffy 241">Duffy 241</ref>  He opposed the latinization policies of the Vatican and decreed a number of measures that  preserved the integrity and distinctiveness of other cultural expressions.<ref name="Duffy 241"/>
