Brother says Pope Leo XIV will likely follow Francis and look out for ‘those who don’t have a voice’

  • American Cardinal Robert Prevost was elected Pope Leo XIV on May 8, 2025, appearing on the balcony of St Peter's Basilica in Vatican City.
  • The conclave lasted around 24 hours and included 133 cardinals from about 70 countries, mostly appointed by Pope Francis, who died less than three weeks earlier.
  • Pope Leo XIV chose his name to honor Leo XIII, who authored the 1891 encyclical Rerum Novarum, laying foundations for Catholic social teaching addressing workers’ rights and capitalism.
  • Experts and Vatican officials suggest the name signals Leo XIV's intent to continue Francis's focus on social justice and elevating marginalized voices globally.
  • Pope Leo XIV faces the challenge of guiding a diverse Catholic Church of 1.4 billion amid shifting demographics, likely continuing Francis’s legacy toward the global south and social equity.
