  In a momentous event for the Catholic Church, Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost of Chicago has been elected as the 267th pope, taking the name Pope Leo XIV . This marks the first time in the Church's 2,000-year history that an American-born cardinal has ascended to the papacy.   Known for his moderate stance on key Church issues, Pope Leo XIV is expected to serve as a unifying figure amid ideological divides within the Church. His extensive experience includes missionary work in Peru and leadership roles within the Vatican, notably as the prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops.   Pope Leo XIV's election follows the death of Pope Francis on April 21, 2025. The conclave, comprising 133 voting cardinals, reached a consensus relatively quickly, reflecting a desire for continuity and global outreach within the Church.   The global Catholic community welcomes Pope Leo XIV with prayers and hope for a future filled with faith, unity, and compassion. 🗣️ What are your h...

The world woke up today to somber news — His Holiness, Pope Francis, has passed away at the age of 88. Known for his humility, warmth, and unwavering commitment to justice, Pope Francis — born Jorge Mario Bergoglio — was the first Jesuit and first Latin American pope. He died peacefully on Easter Monday in his Vatican residence, after health complications related to pneumonia. The Vatican has since confirmed his passing and announced a series of services to honor his life and legacy. During his 12-year papacy, Francis redefined what it meant to lead with love. From his outspoken support for migrants and the poor to his progressive stance on LGBTQ+ inclusion and climate change, Pope Francis became a voice of compassion in a world too often divided. He championed the role of women in the Church, pushed for financial transparency within the Vatican, and never shied away from holding power accountable — even within his own institution. For many Catholics and non-Catholics alike, especially...
