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. He vows to build on Pope Francis’ progressive legacy while bringing his own dynamic focus on social justice. 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.

Before Cardinal Robert Prevost was elected as the new Pope, Catholic cardinals reportedly consulted the 2024 film 'Conclave' ahead of the conclave to find Pope Francis' successor. According to Politico, a number of cardinals who are a part of the ongoing conclave that began Wednesday in Rome watched 'Conclave' as a, quote, "helpful research tool" to learn more about the process of selecting a new pope.

A historic moment unfolded in Vatican City as white smoke billowed from the Sistine Chapel, signaling the election of a new pope. On only the first full day of voting, the 133 cardinal electors made their choice behind closed doors. As bells rang out across St. Peter's Square, thousands erupted in joy, awaiting the reveal of the next spiritual leader of 1.4 billion Catholics. The newly elected pontiff will soon be introduced from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica, marking a new era after Pope Francis' 12-year reign.
