Earlier today, Robert Francis Prevost, taking the name Pope Leo XIV, was selected by the Conclave to serve as the Holy Father of the Catholic Church. Born in Chicago, Illinois, Pope Leo XIV is the first American pope in history. He spent much of his early career working for the Augustinians, serving in Peru from 1985-1986 and again from 1988-1998 and 2015-2023. He was named a cardinal by Pope Francis in 2023.
Pope Leo XIV is the son of Louis Marius Prevost and Mildred Martinez.

“Logan was like, ‘why can’t I help?’” David Staib remembers. “And I’m like, ‘you’re 12, you probably could.’ And so that next day, we were out in the garage. He’s pulling the cylinder heads off of the 302. From there, it just kind of started.
