Robert Francis Prevost: the moderate, good humoured first American pope
Robert Francis Prevost â who has chosen the papal name Leo XIV â may not be the Latin American Jesuit wildcard that his predecessor, Pope Francis, was, but his election is similarly historic.
In the figure of the 69-year-old former head of the Augustinian order, the Roman Catholic church has its very first US leader.
Until Thursday evening, the idea of the fishermanâs ring being slipped on to a North American hand was seen as a fairly distant possibility.
