The most famous American in the world is now Leo XIV, the first American pope. Formerly known as Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, Pope Leo is an Augustinian priest born and raised in Chicago who is apparently a White Sox\u00a0 fan.

Just so you know, things have changed up a bit on planet Earth in recent days:<\/p>\n

The most famous American in the world is now a man who has taken a vow of poverty and service, who has committed his life to the welfare of others, especially working people and the poor, and who declared this week, upon being elected pope, that “evil will not prevail.”<\/p>\n

“God loves us, all of us, and evil will not prevail” Pope Leo XIV said to the multitude assembled in St. Peter’s Square on Thursday, an hour or so after he had been elected pope. “We will move forward.”<\/p>\n

Good to know.<\/p>\n
