Robert Francis Prevost, an American archbishop, was elected Pope on May 8, 2025, becoming Leo XIV. At 69, he is the 267th pontiff and is known for his missionary life in Peru. Prevost was named cardinal in 2023 and has had an atypical career as a valued mediator in Peru's political crises. As pope, he will continue to promote progressive values but will maintain the traditions of the Church, with a discreet and peaceful personality.
