Robert Francis Prevost, originally from Chicago, has been elected as Pope Leo XIV, marking him as the first American pope in history. Renowned for his strong connections to the South Side of Chicago and his extensive service in Peru, Leo is celebrated for his humility, sense of humor, and forward-thinking perspectives.
Although President Trump extended his congratulations, supporters of the MAGA movement expressed their discontent online, labeling him a ‘woke globalist’ because of his pro-immigrant views and previous criticisms of Trump. In spite of the backlash, Pope Leo XIV’s papacy commences with a call for peace and global unity.
