When Robert Francis Prevost stepped onto the loggia of St. Peter's Basilica one year ago, his first speech was, in ways that would only become clear over the year that followed, a preview of what was to come.
A year after his first words "Peace be with you all,” we know a lot more about Cardinal Robert Prevost turned Pope Leo XIV. He has emerged as a pope of order for times of global chaos.
After one year Pope Leo XIV has emerged as a pontiff attempting to guide a polarized church and fractured world through dialogue, peace and defence of human dignity.
Roughly two months before celebrating a year on the throne of Peter, Pope Leo XIV became one of the most quoted global leaders on the planet.
