Cardinal Robert Prevost has taken the name Leo XIV. He is the first American pope in the 2,000-year history of the Catholic Church.

As a missionary, Prevost, 69, spent his career ministering in Peru and led the Vatican’s powerful office of bishops.

The order works in about 50 countries, according to its website, promoting a contemplative spirituality, communal living and service to others.
