ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The definite profile of Pope Leon XIV, written by Elise Ann Allen, Vatican correspondent.

A lucid view to the man behind the new papacy.

Winds of conclave, white smoke, a new Pope. Who is Robert Prevost, the man we now know as Leon XIV? How might his career mark his papacy? What personal traits led him to be elected pontiff in times when the Catholic Church is currently debating the continuation of Pope Francis' legacy or reverse the reforms promoted by him? How did he become Pope with such an overwhelming majority, and what could this mean?

Journalist Elise Ann Allen, Rome correspondent for the prestigious portal specialized in Vatican affairs, Crux (and very familiar with the Sodalicio case in Peru), draws a detailed and sharp profile of the human being now sitting on Saint Peter's chair: his childhood in Chicago; his early vocation; the values that formed him as Augustinian; his long and constant missionary work in Latin America, specially Peru; his marked leadership in several Church instances; his relationship with his predecessor, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, and his last stretch as cardinal, charged with the dicastery for bishops in the Vatican, which ultimately stablished him as an authentic "citizen of the world". All of these facets have special relevance in anticipation to how the papacy of Leon XIV will define the Church in the polarized, ever-changing world we live in today. What continuities, but also differences, have already started to show in the first few weeks of his papacy?
