Robert Prevost has been elected as the first American Pope, taking the name Pope Leo XIV, after the death of Pope Francis. His appointment comes at a pivotal time when the Catholic Church faces multiple global crises. Observers hope that Pope Leo will advocate for climate action, much like his predecessor, and he has voiced the need for transition from rhetoric to action regarding the climate crisis. Despite being known to be reserved, thereâs optimism regarding his potential to contribute to peace and social justice fitting the current global landscape.
"Dominion over natureâthe task which God gave humanityâshould not become tyrannical. It must be a relationship of reciprocity with the environment."
"Our world is in need of the strongest voices for peace, social justice, human dignity and compassion. I look forward to building a collaborative relationship with Pope Leo."
