A RESOLUTION To commend Robert Francis Prevost on his election to the leadership of the Catholic Church as Pope Leo XIV.
AI Summary
This resolution commends Robert Francis Prevost on becoming Pope Leo XIV, the 267th leader of the Roman Catholic Church, who was elected on May 8, 2025. The resolution highlights several significant aspects of Pope Leo XIV's background, including his historic status as the first Pope from the United States and the second Pope from the Americas. It notes his connections to New Orleans, specifically the 7th Ward, and his maternal family's ties to St. Louis Cathedral. Prior to becoming Pope, Prevost was an American missionary from Chicago who served in Peru and was appointed by Pope Francis as president of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America in 2023. The resolution also references his inaugural address from the balcony of St. Peter's Basilica, in which he offered a message of peace, and formally expresses the Louisiana House of Representatives' congratulations and best wishes for his leadership as the Bishop of Rome.
