Enters Pope Leo XIV born Robert Francis Prevost, he becomes the first from the United States of America to become a Pope.
As the former Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops, Prevost’s relatively moderate profile and canon-law background likely contributed to his papal potential.
He is sixty-nine and is committed to works of mercy, forgiveness, and inclusion as well as missionary works.
Already, President Donald Trump has congratulated the newly elected Pontiff describing his emergence as an honour to America.
