English | Espanol
Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost has been elected the 267th pope of the Roman Catholic Church and has taken the name Leo XIV.
Brief bio from Vatican News
"The first Augustinian Pope, Leo XIV is the second Roman Pontiff - after Pope Francis - from the Americas. Unlike Jorge Mario Bergoglio, however, the 69-year-old Robert Francis Prevost is from the northern part of the continent, though he spent many years as a missionary in Peru before being elected head of the Augustinians for two consecutive terms."
