Conclave 2025: The Making of Pope Leo XIV

By: Lois R. Moore

The world paused in the spring of 2025 as white smoke drifted above the Sistine Chapel. Moments later, the words echoed from the balcony: Habemus Papam. The Church had a new pope, and he was an American.

Conclave 2025: The Making of Pope Leo XIV tells the story behind one of the most unexpected papal elections in modern times. From the solemn rituals of the conclave to the behind-the-scenes factions shaping each vote, this book offers a rare, accessible look into how Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost rose to become Pope Leo XIV.

Readers will discover:

How the conclave really works - the rules, the secrecy, and the symbolism

Who the front-runners were, and why Prevost wasn't one of them

The life of Pope Leo XIV - from Chicago to Peru to the Vatican

What his election means for the future of the Church

Clear, informative, and written for readers of all backgrounds, Conclave 2025 is a short but powerful portrait of leadership, faith, and global change.
