Leo XIV: Who is Robert Prevost, the new pope?
May 9, 2025
10:10
In a historic moment for both the Catholic Church and the United States, Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost has been elected as the 267th pontiff and the first American to ascend to the papacy. Taking the name Leo XIV, the 69-year-old Chicago native’s election marks a significant shift in the Church’s leadership while signaling potential continuity with his predecessor’s progressive reforms.
Born in Chicago in 1955 to parents of Spanish and Franco-Italian descent, Prevost brings a unique blend of American and Latin American perspectives to the Vatican. Though American by birth, his decades of missionary work in Peru have earned him deep connections to Latin America, where he holds Peruvian citizenship and is remembered fondly for his work with marginalized communities.
“We still hear in our ears the weak but always courageous voice of Pope Francis who blessed us,” Leo XIV told cheering crowds in his first address from the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica. “United and hand in hand with God, let us advance together.”

The new pontiff’s background bridges multiple worlds. Ordained in 1982, Prevost moved to Peru three years later but maintained ties to his hometown, returning periodically to serve as a pastor and prior in Chicago. His decade of service as a parish pastor and seminary teacher in Trujillo, northwestern Peru, cemented his reputation as a bridge-builder committed to serving the underprivileged.
Early analysis suggests Leo XIV may continue many of his predecessor’s priorities, particularly regarding migrants, poverty, and environmental concerns. Before his election, then-Cardinal Prevost described his immigrant roots to Italian network Rai: “I was born in the United States… But my grandparents were all immigrants, French, Spanish… I was raised in a very Catholic family, both of my parents were very engaged in the parish.”
Reverend John Lydon, a former roommate, described the new pope to the BBC as “outgoing,” “down to earth,” and “very concerned with the poor.”

Pope Francis elevated Prevost rapidly within Church leadership, appointing him Bishop of Chiclayo, Peru in 2014, then naming him Archbishop and Cardinal in quick succession in 2023. Most recently, Prevost served as prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops in Latin America, overseeing the selection and supervision of bishops across the region—a role that made him well-known among the College of Cardinals.
In choosing the name Leo XIV, Prevost signals specific intentions for his papacy. The Leo lineage includes historically significant popes: the first Pope Leo famously persuaded Attila the Hun not to attack Rome, while Leo XIII (1878-1903) wrote influential teachings on workers’ rights during the industrial revolution.
Former Archbishop of Boston Seán Patrick O’Malley noted that the name choice is “widely associated with the social justice legacy of Pope Leo XIII, who was pontiff at a time of epic upheaval in the world, the time of the industrial revolution, the beginning of Marxism, and widespread immigration.”

Vatican observers are closely watching for indications of how Leo XIV will approach contentious Church matters. While his stance on LGBTQ+ issues remains somewhat unclear, he has supported Francis’s declaration permitting blessings for same-sex couples, though adding that bishops should interpret such directives according to local contexts.
On climate action, Prevost has been outspoken, stating last year that it was time to move “from words to action” and calling for mankind to build a “relationship of reciprocity” with the environment. He has advocated for concrete measures at the Vatican, including solar panels and electric vehicles.
The new pontiff has also supported increased roles for women in Church governance. Regarding Pope Francis’s historic decision to include women in the Dicastery for Bishops, Prevost told Vatican News in 2023: “On several occasions we have seen that their point of view is an enrichment.” In 2024, he added that women’s presence “contributes significantly to the process of discernment in looking for who we hope are the best candidates to serve the Church in episcopal ministry.”

Despite his progressive credentials, Leo XIV faces significant challenges. Like many Church leaders, he could not entirely escape the sexual abuse scandals that have plagued Catholicism, though his diocese has strongly denied any involvement in cover-up attempts.
As the first American pope and only the second from the Americas (after Argentina’s Francis), Leo XIV will need to navigate complex geopolitical tensions while addressing declining Church attendance in traditional strongholds and managing growing Catholic populations in the Global South.
For now, as crowds chanted “Viva il Papa” beneath the Vatican balcony, the historic nature of his election has energized Catholics worldwide, particularly in the United States, where President Donald Trump called the election of the first American pope “a great honor.”
