Hours after Pope Leo XIV was elected, Chicago's Archdiocese predicted that the new pope would be a "voice for the voiceless," adding that he is going to serve with "great faith." Father Gregory Sakowicz went on to say that he thinks Pope Leo XIV will "be very strong" on immigration, human rights and the Earth.
Pope Leo XIV was born in Chicago and worked extensively in Peru and Italy. His brother says he loves to play Wordle and recently watched the movie Conclave. NBC News' Anne Thompson reports he was close to Pope Francis and wants a church that builds bridges.
