What Does The First US-Born Pope Mean For The Church?
On Sunday, Catholic churches across the world celebrated Mass while a new leader took the top seat in Vatican City. That new leader is Pope Leo XIV.
But when white smoke rose last week, some of the faithful may have been surprised when Robert Prevost walked out of St. Peter's Basilica victorious. He's the first US-born pope in history.
What do we know about the man now leading the church? What does it mean for someone born in the U.S. to be the pope?
