| Description: |
When Robert Francis Prevost, OSA, appeared on the loggia of St. Peter's on May 8, 2025, few expected to see the first American pope. The American Pope traces Pope Leo's remarkable journey from his Chicago roots to his ministry in Peru and eventual election as leader of the world's 1.4 billion Catholics.
Veteran journalist Christopher R. Altieri offers a compelling portrait of a quiet, capable man who follows in the spirit of Francis yet seeks to heal a divided Church. Drawing on deep reporting and analysis, Altieri examines the political dynamics of the 2025 conclave, the symbolism of Leo's chosen name, and the immense challenges facing today's Vatican, from financial crisis and governance reform to moral and technological upheaval.
Through this incisive biography, Pope Leo emerges as a humble bridge-builder and skilled canonist whose steady leadership may redefine the modern papacy. |
