Description:	We have a Pope! And his name is Leo XIV. But who is this 266th successor to St. Peter? What is the former Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost's vision for the Church, and what impact will his papacy have on Catholics and on the world? Catholic journalist and historian Matthew Bunson offers a portrait of the new Holy Father. He delivers a narrative of the new pope's life, beliefs, and improbable journey to the Chair of St. Peter. In his portrait of Pope Leo he tells of: - His birth at Mercy Hospital and early life in Dolton, just outside South Side Chicago - His classic American Catholic upbringing, from the moment the legacy institutions began to decline - Suburban Chicago as the quintessential microcosm of the Church in America - The Augustinian intellectual heritage, and the sketches of the Augustinian saints in his pectoral cross - Peru as a place of mission: its geography, culture, and the history of Catholicism in northwest South America - Leo as a fully American pope shaped by both the U.S. and Latin AmericaCardinal Prevost?s Vatican career culminating in his appointment as prefect for the Dicastery for Bishops - His relationship with Pope Francis, and early decisions that signal a desire to place himself within the Church?s tradition
