RELATED: Who is Pope Leo XIV, formerly Cardinal Robert Prevost, the first American pope?
Pope Leo XIV, born in Chicago as Robert Francis Prevost, was elected last week, becoming the first American to lead the Roman Catholic Church.
The 69-year-old was chosen on the second day of the papal conclave, after 133 cardinal electors reached the required two-thirds majority — at least 89 votes.
Pope Leo XIV succeeds Pope Francis, who died April 21 at age 88. He is known for holding views similar to those of his predecessor, who elevated him to the role of cardinal in 2023.
