When he entered the conclave on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, following the death of Francis, did Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost suspect that he would be elected Pope the following day? An American born in the USA, from a multicultural family, a missionary before becoming bishop in Peru and prefect of the Congregation of Bishops in Rome, these are not the least features of this surprise election.
A new page has been turned in the history of the papacy.
Who really is Leo XIV? How can we understand the background of this able and discreet man, the spirituality of St. Augustine that underpins him, and the circumstances of his accession to the chair of St. Peter's? Will the man who presented himself from the outset as an apostle of peace and love be able to meet the formidable challenges facing the Church in today's troubled world? The future of mission and the Gospel are at stake.
Written by Samuel Pruvot in collaboration with Marc Leboucher, this is the first French-language biography of Pope Leo XIV.
