Pope Leo XIV Elected as First American Pontiff
Pope Leo XIV, formerly Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost of Chicago, has been elected as the first American-born and Chicago-born pope, surprising many with his U.S. origins and missionary background in Peru. Delivering his inaugural Sunday blessing from St. Peter’s Basilica, he called for peace in Ukraine and a ceasefire in Gaza, urging the release of prisoners and hostages and reunification of families. He invoked the legacy of Pope Francis with the plea 'never again war' and signaled a commitment to inclusivity, social justice, and addressing modern challenges like artificial intelligence. His swift and unified election marks a historic moment for the Catholic Church. Pope Leo XIV’s early actions include prayers at the tombs of St. Peter and Pope Francis and outreach to youth and marginalized communities. Both U.S. and Latin American Catholics have expressed optimism and excitement about his leadership.
