Pope Leo XIV's Official Portrait Has Been Released

  • Pope Leo XIV, formerly American Cardinal Robert Prevost, was declared pope in early May following Pope Francis's death on April 21 and his official portrait was released on Friday at the Vatican.
  • The election followed Pope Francis’s passing on Easter Monday, April 21, and Leo XIV was chosen on the fourth conclave ballot amid significant global attention.
  • Pope Leo XIV has made peace a central theme of his leadership, delivered his first Mass in English, reiterated that marriage is defined as a lifelong bond exclusively between a man and a woman, and urged governments to support families as a foundation for creating peaceful societies.
  • He declared “Peace be with you all,” urged ending arms production, choosing words carefully, and affirmed dignity for the unborn, elderly, unemployed, and immigrants as part of his social teachings.
  • The pontificate prioritizes peace, traditional family values, and religious dialogue, while observers note clear stances on marriage, abortion, and euthanasia may prompt debate.
