Description
The 266th successor to St. Peter has been announced, and his name is Leo XIV. This is the first authoritative portrait of the new Holy Father, written by veteran Catholic journalist and historian Matthew Bunson. With unmatched access and a reputation for integrity and insight, Bunson delivers a compelling narrative of the new pope's life, beliefs, and improbable journey to the Chair of St. Peter. Born in Chicago, Leo XIV's early life was shaped by a classic American Catholic upbringing, set against the backdrop of declining legacy institutions in suburban Chicago. His Augustinian intellectual heritage and sketches of the Augustinian saints in his pectoral cross also played a significant role in his development. As a fully American pope, Leo XIV's vision for the Church is deeply rooted in both the U.S. and his experiences in Peru, where he has been a key figure in the history of Catholicism in northwest South America.
