'''Pope Leo XIV''' (born '''Robert Francis Prevost''' on September 14, 1955) is the [[Pope index|268th and current pope]] of the [[Catholic Church]]. His papacy began on May 8, 2025.
==Papacy==
Leo, who was born in Chicago, became the first Pope from North America. He is a larger admirer of his predecessor, [[Pope Francis]] as well as [[Pope Leo XIII]], the previous Pope to take the name 'Leo'. Both Leos were Popes during time frames of large industrialization and prioritized fighting for the world's workers. Pope Leo XIV found himself pitted against a world with growing artificial intelligence that threatened the jobs of millions.
