US EditionPope Leo XIV marks ‘new beginning’ with American and global outlook
- Pope Leo XIV, who was previously known as Cardinal Robert Prevost and is the first pope of American origin, is starting his papal duties this weekend at the Vatican with a full schedule.
- His election followed the conclave of 133 cardinals and reflects his decades of international service, including missionary work in Peru and Vatican leadership.
- Leo will make a public appearance on Sunday at the central balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica to offer the customary prayer and speech, followed by a press conference on Monday as he begins his papacy.
- Monsignor Walter Rossi described Leo as “American by birth, but definitely international by life,” while emphasizing the joy his election brought to the Church.
- Leo assumes leadership amid challenges such as a decline in U.S. Church membership and financial difficulties, and many Catholics consider him a moderate whose perspectives align closely with those of Pope Francis.
