Now, who exactly is this dynamic new leader, Pope Leo XIV? Born Robert Francis Prevost in sunny Chicago in 1955, he's a trailblazer as the first American pope in the historical Catholic Church. Prevost's roots are a mixture of US and Peruvian citizenship, as his heart led him to Peruvian missionary work for a significant chunk of his life[1][2][3].
Pope Leo XIV is known for his centrist approach, blending progressive social values with conservative church doctrine. Prior to his election, he held the role of head honcho at the Dicastery for Bishops, where he was responsible for choosing new bishops[1][2].
As for the specific collaboration plans between the EU and the Vatican under Leo XIV, we're still waiting on official word from von der Leyen and Costa. But the EU and Holy See have a long-standing, amicable relationship with cooperation in areas like human rights, development, and tackling global issues. Their relationship is built on mutual respect and a shared commitment to promoting peace, human dignity, and sustainable development[1].
So buckle up, world! The stage is set for an exciting era of collaboration between the EU and the Vatican, with Pope Leo XIV at the helm. Stay tuned for more details as we dig deeper into the forthcoming partnership.
