'Diversity is neccessary': Pope Francis elevates 21 new cardinals from around the world
Throughout his papacy, Francis has sought to create a more inclusive, universal Church, looking past Europe to clergy in Africa, Asia and Latin America to fill the Church's highest ranks.
Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost of Chicago has made history as the first American-born Pope, taking the name Leo XIV. World leaders from the U.S. to Ukraine are reacting with admiration, optimism, and high expectations. Following the death of Pope Francis, Prevost steps into a role marked by reform, global conflict, and environmental urgency. With deep Latin American ties and a strong voice for the marginalized, Leo XIV's papacy begins with a powerful global response. Here's how presidents, prime ministers, and global communities are welcoming the new head of the Catholic Church.

In his first public address as Pope Leo XIV, Robert Prevost extended a heartfelt message of peace and unity from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica. Delivered in Italian and Spanish, his speech honored Pope Francis, emphasized humility, and called for a global mission of justice and dialogue. A son of Saint Augustine, he urged the Church to build bridges, embrace suffering, and become a community for all. With special greetings to his former diocese in Peru and invocations to Mary, Pope Leo sets a hopeful, bold tone for his papacy in uncertain times.

Pope Leo XIV, formerly Robert Prevost, has sparked waves with his limited but telling 2025 social media posts. Before his election, he subtly criticized Vice President JD Vance, reposted content calling out Donald Trump's stance on immigration, and expressed support for Pope Francis' health. His posts reflect a compassionate stance on immigration, Dreamers, gun reform, and climate action-drawing cheers from liberals and concern from right-wing commentators. Though not prolific online, these posts provide a glimpse into the political leanings of the first American pope and what his leadership could signal for the global Church.

Robert Francis Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, becomes the first American pontiff with deep Latin American ties. Born in Chicago, the 69-year-old missionary spent decades in Peru, where he became known for championing the poor, climate justice, and pastoral reforms.

With a background in immigrant roots and years of ground-level ministry, Leo XIV’s papacy promises continuity with reform, balanced by cultural sensitivity and strong episcopal leadership rooted in the Augustinian tradition.

Asian markets surged after the U.S. and China held "substantial" trade talks in Geneva, offering hope for a resolution to the tariff war that has shaken global markets. With earlier tariffs reaching as high as 145% on Chinese goods and 125% in retaliation, fears of a recession had loomed large. But both sides called the discussions constructive, raising expectations for a deal. The WTO praised the talks as a "significant step forward," while U.S. futures, oil, and the dollar all climbed on optimism of easing tensions.
