Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, born in Chicago, was ushered into his new role on May 8, adopting the name Pope Leo XIV.
During his first few weeks as head of the Catholic Church, Pope Leo called for a just and lasting peace in Ukraine, as well as an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, with hostages released and humanitarian aid delivered, while welcoming India and Pakistan’s ceasefire agreement.
While Pope Leo donned his customary clothes to the mass, several fans noticed the 69-year-old was also wearing an Apple Watch.
