2025 is a momentous year for Catholic Latinos, with the death of the first Latin American pontiff, Pope Francis, and the election of the second Latin American pontiff, Pope Leo XIV! We discuss Pope Leo's creole and Black ancestry, which may include ties to Haiti and Cuba, and how he became an adopted Peruvian and dual citizen. We also look back at Pope Francis's legacy and consider how the new pope could impact the Catholic Church's policies on social issues. Learn why Pope Leo XIV is invited to the carne asada!
