Robert Prevost is officially the head of the Catholic Church, becoming the first American cardinal to be elected Pope. He is the 267th Pope of the Catholic Church, the new leader of the world's 1.4 billion Catholics.
Prevost, 69, of Chicago, Illinois, is the first pope ever from the United States. He will be known as Leo XIV.
A leader with global experience, he spent much of his career as a missionary in South America and most recently headed a powerful Vatican office for bishop appointments. He is expected to continue to support Pope Francis' reforms.
He worked for a decade in Trujillo, Peru, and was later appointed bishop of Chiclayo, another Peruvian city, where he served from 2014 to 2023.
In an interview with Vatican News, shortly after becoming head of the Dicastery for Bishops, Prevost said: "I still consider myself a missionary. My calling, like that of every Christian, is to be a missionary, to proclaim the Gospel wherever you are."
