Who is Robert Prevost, the First American to Become Pope Leo XIV in Vatican History? | New Pope
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.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a call with Pope Leo XIV following the deadly IDF strike on Gaza’s Holy Family Church, which killed three civilians. The Pope expressed deep sorrow, called for an immediate ceasefire, and urged protection of worship sites. He also warned of Gaza’s worsening humanitarian crisis. While Netanyahu’s office called the exchange “friendly,” the Vatican stressed moral responsibility. The Latin Patriarchate and global Christian groups have condemned the strike, demanding Israel halt attacks on sacred sites and civilians.

An Israeli airstrike on the Holy Family Church compound in Gaza has killed three civilians and injured several others, including children and a parish priest. The Latin Patriarchate called it a "morally unjustified tragedy" as the church sheltered women, children, and the elderly. France, Italy, and the Vatican condemned the attack, demanding accountability. Pope Leo XIV expressed sorrow and urged a ceasefire. Israel has apologized and launched an investigation, stating religious sites are not intentionally targeted despite growing criticism.

As the world watches the escalating Iran-Israel conflict with bated breath, Pope Leo has issued a powerful and emotional appeal for "responsibility and reason." In a bold statement, he condemned existential threats, called for dialogue, and demanded a future free from nuclear menace. His urgent message presses world leaders to pursue peace through mutual respect and fraternity. With tensions at their peak and nuclear fears resurfacing, the Pope's call stands as a moral plea for humanity to step back from the brink of destruction and seek just and lasting peace.

Russian President Vladimir Putin held a rare and “constructive” phone call with Pope Leo XIV, accusing Ukraine of deliberately escalating the conflict by sabotaging civilian infrastructure inside Russia. Putin referenced recent train bombings in Bryansk and Kursk as acts of terrorism. He also updated the Pontiff on resumed peace talks with Kiev, the exchange of prisoners, and efforts to reunite displaced children. Putin urged the Pope to support religious freedom in Ukraine and thanked the Holy See for its role in mediating humanitarian issues.

Pope Leo XIV, born Robert Prevost in Chicago, has become the first U.S.-born pontiff and now leads both the Holy See and Vatican City. His dual role as an American citizen and a foreign head of state raises legal and constitutional questions. While U.S. law allows for “active review” of such cases, experts say Leo’s citizenship is unlikely to be revoked unless he explicitly renounces it. The Vatican is a sovereign nation, and Leo holds dual citizenship with Peru as well. The U.S. State Department declined comment on his status.

As US President Donald Trump threatens to impose 50 percent tariffs on Latin America's largest economy, protesters in Brazil's economic capital of Sao Paulo rally in defense of jobs, local businesses, and national sovereignty.
The July 9 announcement, in which Trump vows steep tariffs as retaliation for what he calls a "witch hunt" against his far-right ally Jair Bolsonaro, has drawn criticism in Brazil.
Demonstrators stage a symbolic "arrest" of both leaders by dressing up as Trump and Bolsonaro, complete with police uniforms.

In a major trade announcement, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that President Trump will be sending official notifications to approximately 12 countries regarding upcoming changes in trade negotiations. Speaking to reporters, Leavitt emphasized that these communications will come directly from the President and are designed to secure “the best deals for the American people and the American worker.” The move signals a renewed push by the administration to rewrite trade terms viewed as unfavorable or outdated. While Leavitt didn’t name the countries involved, sources suggest key partners in Asia, Europe, and Latin America may be included. The administration’s strategy reflects Trump’s longstanding pledge to put American industry first and reshape the global trade landscape. Critics warn the strategy could strain diplomatic ties, but Leavitt made it clear: the President is doubling down on economic nationalism—one letter at a time.

Chaos erupted on the streets of San Francisco on Tuesday as federal immigration agents clashed violently with protesters outside a city courthouse. The confrontation, now being called the most violent of its kind in the city this year, saw Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents using aggressive tactics against a group of approximately 20 demonstrators.
The tense situation began around 11:18 a.m. when ICE agents attempted toescort a detained man from the courthouse. Protesters quickly formed a human chain, using their bodies and bicycles to block the exit while shouting anti-ICE slogans. In response, several agents, with their faces covered, were seen deploying pepper spray, pushing protesters to the ground with batons, and yelling expletives. The situation escalated dramatically when one agent brandished a rifle to intimidate the crowd.
The most shocking moment occurred when a black SUV, reportedly waiting for the agents, sped through the crowd of protesters. Witnesses reported that a woman was thrown from the hood of the moving vehicle, which then almost ran her over a block away. This incident has sparked outrage and raises serious questions about the use of force by federal agents during public demonstrations in the United States.

A shocking moment was captured on camera in downtown Chicago as a car drove through a crowd of anti-ICE protesters late Tuesday night. The demonstration, part of a growing nationwide movement against recent ICE raids, escalated when a woman behind the wheel pushed through a crowd near Wabash and Monroe. A police officer attempted to intervene, striking the car's window, but the vehicle did not stop. Authorities have not confirmed any injuries, and no arrests have been made so far.

Nationwide anti-ICE protests erupt from Los Angeles to New York, as thousands march against harsh immigration policies. Massive turnouts in Chicago, San Francisco, Atlanta, and beyond lead to over 150 arrests, vandalism, and confrontations with police. A bomb scare in Chicago, sit-ins outside Trump Tower, and tear gas used in Texas signal growing unrest. With 1,800+ protests planned for Saturday to counter Trump’s military parade, the U.S. braces for a weekend of unprecedented resistance.

In a dramatic escalation, U.S President Donald Trump has deployed 2,000 California National Guard troops to Los Angeles—over the strong objections of Governor Gavin Newsom. The move follows two days of increasingly violent protests in the heavily Latino city of Paramount, where immigration raids have sparked clashes with Border Patrol agents in riot gear. Tear gas, flash-bangs, and burning streets set the scene as over 100 immigrants have already been arrested.
