History has been made. Cardinal Robert F. Prevost, born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, has been elected the new pope, becoming the first American-born pontiff in the history of the Catholic Church. Now known as Pope Leo the Fourteenth, he brings decades of global ministry, leadership, and deep theological experience to the role.
As he steps onto the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica, Catholics around the world watch with hope and curiosity.
What does this moment mean to you and what do you hope to see from his leadership?
