US EditionBronx priest from same order as Pope Leo XIV
- Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, a US-born member of the Augustinian Order, was elected Pope Leo XIV in a Vatican conclave in April 2025.
- Prevost’s election followed a quick four-ballot vote, surprising many as betting markets had favored other candidates like Pietro Parolin and Luis Antonio Tagle.
- Pope Leo XIV spent over 20 years in Peru as a missionary and bishop, criticizing US anti-immigration policies while holding conservative views on abortion and gender ideology.

- His election suggests a papacy marked by a more serene temperament that may unify progressive and conservative factions within the Catholic Church’s 1.4 billion followers worldwide.
