Summary

76% Informative

Cardinal Robert Prevost was chosen as Pope Leo XIV , the 267th pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church .

He is the first American ever to hold the role in history.

Bishop William McGrattan says the choice of Leo XIV is to go back to the name of Leo XIII , a Pope recognized for his outspoken advocacy on socio-economic issues during the Industrial Revolution .

Prevost was elected on the second day of the conclave, a relatively quick decision that some observers say reflects the desire by the cardinals for a leader who could continue Pope Francis ’s focus on synodality and outreach to the poor.

After returning to the U.S. in 1999 to serve in senior roles within his order, he later returned to Peru and was appointed Bishop of Chiclayo.
