Robert Prevost, the Chicago-born missionary, was elected the first pope from the United States in the history of the Catholic Church.

Pope Leo XIV holds his first general audience in St. Peter’s Square on Wednesday, issuing an appeal for Gaza, which he calls an “increasingly worrying and painful” situation, harming children, elderly, and the sick in particular.

Meet Donna, who lives next door to Pope Leo XIV's childhood home in Dolton, IL. She says the home was recently a hub of drug dealing, but she prayed that God would bring peace. A Catholic, she's playing worship music from her house and using all the attention to share the Gospel. pic.twitter.com/OSQnKxiYek
