Pope Leo XIV

Posted 10:00 AM by Gerald So

On Thursday, the second day of the conclave, Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost was elected to succeed Pope Francis. Safe to say, dual American-Peruvian citizen Prevost was a surprising choice. I, like many American Catholics, never thought I'd see an American pope.

This is a very rare chance for the Pope's leadership to get more of America's attention. I like that Pope Leo XIV has committed to continuing Francis' work. I also hope he continues speaking out against Donald Trump's abuse of power.
