As head of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Leo, who was just elected, could earn a good living.Millions of people
Worldwide cheered and applauded as the Vatican announced Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, a Chicago native, as Pope Francis’ successor yesterday (Thursday, May 8).
The new pope, who is 69 years old, is comparatively young for a pope and, in keeping with tradition, the only American to hold the position in a lengthy line of 266 previous popes. He is known as Pope Leo XIV.
We may anticipate Pope Leo to follow in the ‘humble’ footsteps of Pope Francis, according to his older brother John Prevost, as the two were passionate about assisting the underprivileged.
The late 88-year-old pope was well-known for his thrift and progressive views, speaking out against anti-LGBTQ+ laws, war, and climate change while also advocating for Church reform.
Francis lived up to the simplicity of his namesake, St. Francis of Assisi, who was a Jesuit who took an oath of poverty, chastity, and obedience to Christ.
