American-born Prevost elected first US pope Leo XIV
Robert Prevost, a Chicago-born missionary who led the Vatican office of bishops, was elected pope, taking the name Leo XIV. The 69-year-old Augustinian said from St. Peter's loggia that his papacy would emphasize peace, dialogue, and missionary evangelization, signaling a return to tradition with the papal cape. He thanked the cardinals and spoke in near-perfect Italian, invoking Jesus Christ and the church’s unity.
