On the cover: On May 8, the world was introduced to the Catholic Church’s new pope: 69-year-old U.S.-born Augustinian missionary Robert Francis Prevost. Since then, the story of his life — from his humble roots in suburban Chicago, to his years as a missionary in Peru — has prompted plenty of fascination. This special edition of Angelus begins with an introduction to Pope Leo XIV from editor-in-chief Pablo Kay on Page 10, followed by coverage of Leo’s May 18 inauguration Mass in Rome on Page 14, and in-depth reporting and commentary on the new pope from various contributors.
