Pope Leo XIV, the first American to become head of the Catholic Church, celebrated his inaugural Mass with cardinals on Friday inside the Sistine Chapel. Formerly known as Cardinal Robert Prevost, he was born in Chicago and served as a missionary and bishop in Peru before his recent election. The Mass marked the beginning of his new role, following a swift two-day conclave that ended with white smoke on Thursday evening, signaling his election.

First American Pope Begins Papal Duties

After the Mass, Pope Leo XIV shared a private lunch with the cardinals who voted him into office. As they prepare to return to their countries, the new pope now faces urgent challenges. These include financial reforms, ongoing debates on LGBTQ inclusion, how to treat divorced Catholics, and the growing demand for women to have a bigger role in the Church.

Church Awaits Pope’s Response to Tough Issues

Pope Leo XIV has stepped into office at a critical time for the Catholic Church. Faith is declining in many parts of the world, and critics argue the Church must act fast to stay relevant. Supporters believe his American background and missionary experience give him a unique voice to lead with compassion and boldness. His decisions in the coming weeks could shape the future of the Church for years to come.
