Get ready to make history as Cardinal Robert Prevost, an American-born churchman, ascends to the papacy, taking on the name Leo XIV. This momentous occasion comes after a consequential conclave of 133 cardinals, who elected Prevost in a stirring ceremony on May 8, 20xx.
Introducing Pope Leo XIV
Previously known as Cardinal Robert Prevost, our new pontiff hails from the heartland—Chicago, Illinois—where he was born back in 1955. With this election, Prevost becomes the first U.S.-born individual to hold the office of Pope.
Former President Donald Trump, who currently holds the White House, revealed his sentiments on Twitter and Instagram, with the following message:
As we wait to see if this historic event holds any personal or political benefits for the U.S., Trump also hinted at a potential meeting with Pope Leo XIV, stating, "I've always been a fan of the Vatican, and I can't wait to meet the new Pope. It'll be a right proper kingdom-shaking moment!"
The Pope-elect's Ascension
Cardinal Protodeacon Dominique Mamberti (73) announced the election of the new pope shortly after the conclave began on May 7. Cheers erupted from the gathered Vatican faithful as Cardinal Prevost made his debut as Pope Leo XIV. The white smokes rising from the Sistine Chapel's chimney around 6 PM confirmed the new Pope's selection, marking the culmination of the fourth round of voting.
In addition to his new title, Pope Leo XIV serves as an Augustinian Friar and a proud alumnus of Villanova University.
Stay tuned for more updates on this momentous occasion and the impact it may have on the relationship between the Vatican and the United States.
