About the author

Pope Leo XIV

Pope Leo XIV, born Robert Francis Prevost in Chicago in 1955, is the first Augustinian pope. A missionary in Peru for over a decade, he held pastoral and academic roles before serving as Bishop of Chiclayo from 2015 to 2023. Former Prior General of the Augustinians, he was appointed Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops and made a Cardinal in 2023. Known for his humility and pastoral sensitivity, he brings North American roots and deep Latin American experience to the papacy. His episcopal motto, In Illo uno unum, reflects his Augustinian call to unity in Christ.
