The Catholic Church has a new leader. After a conclave of cardinals in the Sistine Chapel, America-born Cardinal Robert Prevost has been elected as the 267th Pope, succeeding Pope Francis.
Following the traditional announcement of “Habemus papam!” (Latin for “We have a pope!”) from the loggia of St. Peter’s Basilica, Cardinal Prevost’s election was confirmed.
