The newly elected pope, informally referred to as 'Bob,' brings a diverse background from serving in Peru and being a leader of the Augustinian Order. His inaugural message on the anniversary of WWII's end emphasizes peace, reflecting his commitment to addressing current global conflicts. Described as a straightforward figure with a 'missionary heart,' he aligns with Pope Francis's call for unity and inclusiveness. Amidst geopolitical turmoil and critical social issues, he faces significant challenges as the leader of over a billion Catholics, expected to facilitate dialogue and promote love in turbulent times.
He became known as the "Latin Yankee" in Rome, but worked for 20 years in Peru's poorest enclave.
He told a crowded St Peter's Square that evil would not prevail. The light of love can still shine, even in the most difficult of times.
