Tourists surprised over election of Pope Leo
Surprised tourists say on May 8, 2025 that they newly-elected Pope Leo XIV was a 'big surprise and a big blessing for the church and for the church in the United States.' He had not been seen as a frontrunner and there was a brief moment of silence when his name was announced to the packed St. Peter's Square, before people started to clap and cheer. Robert Prevost, the choice of the world's Catholic cardinals to serve as leader of the 1.4-billion-member Church, is the first pope from the United States and a relative unknown on the global stage.
