YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Pope Leo XIV is the 267th leader of the world’s 1.4 billion Catholics. Before the College of Cardinals elected him as the first American-born pontiff in history, he was known as Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost.

“Peace be with you all,” Leo said in his first words as pope to the thousands gathered in St. Peter’s Square on Thursday.

Dan Cooney of PBS News shares more information and context about the new pontiff.
