US EditionChurch bell rings in Beatrice for American-born pope
- The pastor of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Beatrice, Rev. Leo Kosch, tolled the church bell on Wednesday to mark the election of American-born Pope Leo XIV in Rome.
- This event followed Cardinal Robert Prevost’s election, a Chicago-born missionary who spent his career in Peru and led the Vatican office vetting bishop nominations, raising interest due to his American origin.
- Kosch paused bell ringing briefly for roofers’ lunch and noted the community streamed the pope’s announcement live, with children cheering as the new pope was introduced, highlighting local engagement.
- Kosch described Pope Leo XIV as a “peaceful man” whose choice of the name Leo signals intent to continue applying Catholic social teaching pioneered by Leo XIII to promote justice worldwide.
- Kosch emphasized joy in clear leadership but said it remains too early to determine the American pope’s impact, as understanding will grow from his statements and appointments during his papacy.
