Description
Meet the new Pope Leo XIV through his own words and a detailed look at his life so far – from humble beginnings to the head of the Catholic Church.
On Thursday, May 8, 2025, the traditional white smoke rose from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel, announcing to the world the election of a new pope. The successor to Pope Francis is American Robert Francis Prevost. Who is the man who will lead the Catholic Church in the coming years as Leo XIV? What path has brought him to the Chair of St. Peter? Renowned journalist Saverio Gaeta creates the first comprehensive portrait of the "pope of globalization." The new pope faces a challenging task of taking on a number of "initiated processes": the future of the Church also depends on these challenges, which Gaeta analyzes with great precision. Leo XIV has accepted this mission with a commitment to return the Catholic Church to being "an ark of salvation, sailing on the waves of history, a lighthouse that illuminates the nights of the world."
