Francisco Robert Prevost

religious leader

Francisco Robert Prevost, known as Pope León XIV, has recently garnered attention for his conservative stance on various contentious issues facing the Catholic Church. In his new role as pope, he has expressed views that sometimes align with his predecessor, Pope Francis, while also diverging on key topics such as women's roles in the Church and LGBTQ+ issues. Prevost has emphasized the importance of women's contributions to the Church but has been cautious about expanding their roles to include priesthood. His papacy is already marked by a significant debate over immigration policies, reflecting his commitment to social justice, especially regarding marginalized communities.
