After the death of progressive Pope Francis, the world waited for the selection of a new leader of the world’s Catholics. Today, Pope Leo XIV was announced to the world. Robert Prevost, now known as Pope Leo, is the first Pope from the United States. Originally from Chicago, he has served the Catholic Church there as well as in Peru. He is known as a centrist with some socially progressive views that match that of his predecessor. The LGBTQ community, especially Christians, wait to see if he will continue the outreach to Queer faithful that Pope Francis was known for.
