Pope Leo XIV (born Robert Francis Prevost on September 14, 1955) is the 268th and current pope of the Catholic Church. His papacy began on May 8, 2025.
Leo, who was born in Chicago, became the first Pope from North America. He is a larger admirer of his predecessor, Pope Francis as well as Pope Leo XIII, the previous Pope to take the name 'Leo'. Both Leos were Popes during time frames of large industrialization and prioritized fighting for the world's workers. Pope Leo XIV found himself pitted against a world with growing artificial intelligence that threatened the jobs of millions.
At the time he became Pope, the world had been rapidly secularizing. The Catholic Church had the least amount of power since the before the adoption of Christianity in Europe. Regardless, the laity and secular have both praised Leo upon his election as Pope, with both sides weighing in during the Papal Conclave.
