About This Trend

Pope Leo XIV is the newly elected Pope of the Catholic Church, born as Robert Francis Prevost in Chicago, Illinois. He is the first American to hold the papacy and has served as a cardinal, ministering in Peru and holding degrees in canon law.

The Pope is trending due to his historic election as the first U.S.-born pontiff and his call for the Church to 'build bridges' during his inaugural address. His background as a diplomat and his past criticisms of political figures like Trump and Vance have also drawn significant attention. .
