Pope Leo XIV
1975: This man made a shocking decision:
He rejected Harvard Law to serve Peru’s poorest villages
Now, he’s the 267th Pope

• Speaks ancient Incan
• Walked 8hrs to help the poor
• First American born ever

The untold story of new elected Pope Robert Prevost: In 1975
Robert Prevost was at the top of his game. Chicago math teacher.Devout Catholic.Accepted into Harvard Law. He had everything a young man could dream of, But then—he made a decision that no one saw coming. He said no to Harvard
No to a six-figure future. No to fame. No to comfort
And yes—to something few dare to choose: A life of complete surrender. He joined a missionary group and moved to Peru. Not to the cities. Not to the tourist spots .
But to the most remote villages—where children die from treatable diseases. And families walk miles just for clean water. There were no roads. No running water. No WiFi
Just mountains. Silence And poverty. But he embraced it like home
Robert didn’t just live among the people. He became one of them

• Learned Quechua—the sacred language of the Incas
• Carried food on foot for days
• Slept on dirt floors with the villagers
• Prayed under the stars
  His acts weren’t broadcasted.But they echoed through the Andes
  Bishops noticed
  Priests noticed
  And eventually—the Vatican noticed
  They called him back to lead his entire Augustinian order. From serving a village. To overseeing 2,800 brothers in over 40 countries.
  Still—he kept his same sandals
  Still—he walked with the poor
  Still—he rejected luxury
  Then came the call that changed everything:
  Rome wanted him closer. In 2020 He was appointed Archbishop and assigned to govern other bishops globally. It was rare. But Robert had never chased tradition. He wasn’t just fluent in Latin or Canon Law.
  He was fluent in compassion
  In humility
  In listening
  In presence
  The Vatican didn’t just see a priest. They saw a leader with soul. On September 30, 2023. Pope Francis made it official:
  Robert Prevost was named a Cardinal. Just one step below the Pope
  And then… in 2025
  History was made. For the first time ever
  An American
  A former math teacher
  A missionary to the forgotten
  Was elevated as the 267th Pope of the Catholic Church

And he didn’t forget the people who shaped him. To this day. Pope Robert still returns to the same villages.
Still prays in Quechua
Still sits on dirt floors
Still holds the hands of the elderly in silence
Because leadership he believes:
Is about presence not position
The world is obsessed with power.
But Robert Prevost proves:

• Titles mean nothing without service
• Knowledge is useless without love
• And faith—without sacrifice—is noise
  He turned down the world. And changed it instead.

For context, Pope Leo the 14th was born in Chicago, his father is of French and Italian descent, while his mother is of Spanish descent.

He has also been largely based in Peru with the Spanish speaking and other indigenous people for over 40 years so I am not panicking, I think it is normal for people to have conspiracies, especially now but I’m not worried yet.

He’s had years and years of experiencing life with those indigenous people, he’s a missionary so I wouldn’t connect him with the likes of Trump or what the other average American people are like because he’s been disconnected from them for the longest time – I will remain positive until I see otherwise.

Amazingly our Pope Leo the 14th chose the name Leo the 14th because of Pope Leo the 13th who died 7-20-1903 and he believed in what he stood for. 52 years and 56 days later Pope Leo the 14th was born. His family and friends said he knew since very early age that he was going to be a Priest. That while his 2 brothers played cops and robbers, he played Priest using his mom’s ironing board as a alter covered in a table cloth and used the candy Necco Wafers as the host. This at 5 years old? I believe in reincarnation and this is mind blowing. Pope Leo the 13th was the longest reign of any Pope and he did alot of God’s work in the world. He passed from pneumonia and I think he came back to finish God’s work. We need togetherness in this World now. We need a real World leader, and I think the world just got one. God Bless you Pope Leo the 14th.

It’s also important to know that his studies were with the Augustan order, meaning he’s learnt to be like them from a young age, in my previous post I touched on what they believe in, sharing, community, working together towards the same God…

Also nice to note that he’s a mathematician and worked as a teacher in Peru outside of his official religious work. The director of the Holy See says that the name is a “direct reference to Leo XIII,” the last pope to take the name Leo.

Pope Leo XIII, who headed the Catholic Church from 1878 until his death in 1903, was a founding figure of the Catholic social justice tradition. He is known for his encyclical “Rerum Novarum,” meaning “Of New Things,” which is “considered to be the foundation for the modern social doctrine of the Church. – This is for the people wondering why he chose the name Leo.

He also said in his opening speech that he is determined to continue the work that pope Francis and there’s a large similarity between the two as they both come from orders liked to simplicity, that are people centered.

The US media is outraged as the first ever new American Pope, Leo XIV (14th) gave his first Papal Address in Italian and Spanish, not “English”. The speech was centered about the need for “Unity and peace on Earth”.

I have great hope in our new Pope.. The world and the church must change. It will not change from the outside or from hate… it will change from within. Be the Love.

Quote from Pope Leo X1V.

” Brothers, sisters…
I speak to you, especially to those who no longer believe, no longer hope, no longer pray, because they think God has left.

To those who are fed up with scandals, with misused power, with the silence of a Church that sometimes seems more like a palace than a home.

I, too, was angry with God.
I, too, saw good people die, children suffer, grandparents cry without medicine.
And yes… there were days when I prayed and only felt an echo.

But then I discovered something:
God doesn’t shout. God whispers.
And sometimes He whispers from the mud, from pain, from a grandmother who feeds you without having anything.

I don’t come to offer you perfect faith.
I come to tell you that faith is a walk with stones, puddles, and unexpected hugs.

I’m not asking you to believe in everything.
I’m asking you not to close the door. Give a chance to the God who waits for you without judgment.

I’m just a priest who saw God in the smile of a woman who lost her son… and yet she cooked for others.

That changed me.

So if you’re broken, if you don’t believe, if you’re tired of the lies…
come anyway. With your anger, your doubt, your dirty backpack.
No one here will ask you for a VIP card.

Because this Church, as long as I breathe, will be a home for the homeless, and a rest for the weary.

God doesn’t need soldiers.
He needs brothers.

And you, yes, you…
are one of them.”

Robert Prevost (Leo XIV)

POPE LEO’S SILENCE SPEAKS VOLUMES.

Pope Leo the 14th might just be making history as the first black Pope! 🌍 But he’s keeping us all guessing with his silence.

His family background has some surprising details, and everyone is talking about it.

🕊️ What his family history reveals
🗣️ Why his silence is causing a buzz
🌎 How this impacts black Catholics

Talk about a momentous shift! Did you know his brother says they never identified as people of colour? 🤔

Pope Leo 14th
is definitely not a Liberal. He is known as centrist who leans right.

👉He is passionate about helping the Poor and the migrants and willing to listen to each and every opinion of the community.
👉But he is strict when it comes to Church laws, doctrine and Moral Teachings. He opposes the ordination to a woman and he criticized western LGBTQ lifestyle and ideology.

👉He opposed a government plan to add teachings on gender in schools.
🗣️“The promotion of gender ideology is confusing, because it seeks to create genders that don’t exist,” he told local news media..

Pope LEO 14th elected on the feast of Our Lady of Pompei, who emphasized the weaponry we need against hate. 8th of May also commemorates the presence of St Michael on Mount Gargano. It was a sign to continue the work of Pope Leo 13th to coordinate the Militant Church behind the great general St Michael the archangel which is so HUMBLE that brings with him the presence of God which instills PEACE.

What are your thoughts on how this could change the Church’s future?
