General Discussion

"Prevost, 69, from Chicago, Illinois, is the first ever pope from the United States. He will be known as Leo XIV."

"A leader with global experience, he spent much of his career as a missionary in South America and most recently led a powerful Vatican office for bishop appointments. He is expected to build on Pope Francis’ reforms."

"He worked for a decade in Trujillo, Peru, and was later appointed bishop of Chiclayo, another Peruvian city, where he served from 2014 to 2023. Prevost also holds a Peruvian passport and has been a Peruvian citizen since 2015."

"In an interview with Vatican News shortly after he became the leader of the Dicastery for Bishops, Prevost said: 'I still consider myself a missionary. My vocation, like that of every Christian, is to be a missionary, to proclaim the Gospel wherever one is.'"

I see the new Pope as someone who could directly confront Trump.
