Leo XIV: American, Augustinian, Missionary.

Leo XIV: Meiriceánach, Aibhistíneach, Misinéir.

Robert Francis Prevost is the next pope of the Catholic Church and will be known to the general public as Leo XIV.

Robert Francis Prevost é an chéad phápa eile ar an Eaglais Chaitliceach agus mar Leo XIV a bheidh aithne ag an bpobal mór air.

It was not expected that the successor to Princip would come from America, but his appointment is a strong indication that there will be a certain continuity between the work of Leo XIV and Princip.

Ní raibh súil gur as Meiriceá a thiocfadh an comharba ar Phrionsias, ach nod láidir é a cheapúchán go mbeidh leanúnachas áirithe idir obair Leo XIV agus Prionsias.

Robert Prevost, who was not appointed cardinal until 2023, is from Chicago, Illinois, and is one of the 80 men appointed cardinals by Pope Francis since 2013.

As Chicago Illinois é Robert Prevost, nár ceapadh ina chairdinéal go dtí 2023, duine de na 80 fear a cheap Prionsias ina gcairdinéil ó 2013.

Robert Prevost was born in 1955 in Chicago, Illinois, and entered the priesthood in the Augustinian order there, before graduating with a degree in mathematics from Villanova University in Philadelphia.

I 1955 i Chicago Illinois a rugadh Robert Prevost, agus chuaigh sé isteach sna sagairt san ord Aibhistíneach ansin, sular bhain sé céim amach sa matamataic in Ollscoil Vilanova i Philadelphia.

He also earned degrees in theology, one of which was a doctorate in Rome.

Bhain sé céimeanna amach sa diagacht freisin, ceann acu sin ina dhochtúireacht sa Róimh.

In 1985 he headed to Peru where he spent 14 years as a missionary in one of the poorest countries in the world.

I 1985 thug sé aghaidh ar Pheiriú áit ar chaith sé 14 bhliana déag ina mhisinéir i gceann de thíortha bochta an domhain.

It was brought back to America in 1999 where it was introduced to the Aussies there and around the world.

Tugadh ar ais chuig Meiriceá e i 1999 áit a cuireadh é i mbun na nAibhistíneach ansíúd agus ar fud an domhain.

But Francis sent him back to Peru in 2014, this time as bishop of Chiclayo in the north of that country, and it was there that Francis called him to Rome in 2023.

Ach chuir Proinsias ar ais chuig Peiriú é i 2014, an uair seo ina easpag ar Chiclayo i dtuaisceart na tíre sin, agus is ann a bhí sé gur ghlaoigh Proinsias chun na Róimhe é i 2023.

When Prevost was put in charge of the institution that advises the Pope on the appointment of a new bishop, it was clear that Princip wanted to give him power and status.

Nuair a cuireadh Prevost i mbun an fhorais a chuireann comhairle ar an bPápa faoi easpag nua a cheapadh, ba léir go raibh Prionsias ag iarraidh cumhacht agus stadas a thabhairt dó.

Not long after that, he became a cardinal, the highest rank in the church other than the pope himself.

Níorbh fhada ina dhiaidh sin a rinneadh cairdinéal de, an chéim is airde san eaglais seachas an pápa féin.

Francis was confident in his ability to communicate with the different factions in the church and his moderate stance on many controversial issues.

Bhí muinín ag Proinsias as a chumas cumarsáide leis na heití éagsúla san eaglais agus an seasamh measartha a bhí aige as go leor ceisteanna conspóideacha.

The direction that Prevost would follow was clear upon Francis’ death.

Bhí sé soiléir ar bhás Phroinsias an treo a leanfadh Prevost.

He said that the work could not be stopped or turned back, saying that the same strong message was always there: proclaim Jesus Christ and proclaim the Gospel.

Dúirt sé nach bhféadfaí an obair a stopadh ná casadh ar ais, á rá go raibh an teachtaireacht chéanna láidir ann i gcónaí: fógair Íosa Críost agus fógair an Soiscéal.

But he also said that it needed to be told in a way that the youth, the poor and politicians could hear it in their own way.

Ach dúirt sé freisin go gcaithfí é a inseacht ar bealach a chloisfeadh an óige, na boicht agus polaiteoirí é ina mbealach féin.

The church is alive in today’s world, he said, not in the world it was in 10 or 20 years ago.

Tá an eaglais beo i saol an lae inniu, a dúirt sé, ní sa saol a bhí ann 10 nó 20 bliain ó shin.
