EWTN officially launched the first authoritative biography of Pope Leo XIV during an event at the Vatican on May 22.
Prior to his elevation to the papacy, Leo XIV stayed out of the spotlight on certain reforms backed by his predecessor but maintained a close relationship with Pope Francis.
Francis Rooney said Pope Leo XIV will be a “fantastic pope” because he “can communicate with people in a very clear but nonthreatening way.”
The election of Pope Leo XIV was enthusiastically received by Caritas Internationalis and Catholic Relief Services.
Nine months ago, before he became Pope Leo XIV, Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost sat down for an interview at a parish in the Chicago area.
