In his first public address as Pope Leo XIV, Robert Prevost extended a heartfelt message of peace and unity from the balcony of St. Peterās 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.

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 Francisā progressive legacy while bringing his own dynamic focus on social justice. With a background in immigrant roots and years of ground-level ministry, Leo XIVās papacy promises continuity with reform, balanced by cultural sensitivity and strong episcopal leadership rooted in the Augustinian tradition.

Donald Trump called it a āGreat Honorā as Robert Prevost became the first American pope, taking the name Leo XIV. The 69-year-old former Chicago bishop's election stunned the world and thrilled the U.S. But past tensions linger ā Leo XIV previously criticized U.S. leaders, including Vice President JD Vance. Trump, however, welcomed the election warmly, writing on Truth Social that he looks forward to meeting the new pope. The moment marks a historic first for the Vatican and the United States, but political undertones remain impossible to ignore.

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.

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.
