Chicago-born Cardinal Robert Prevost, 69, was elected and accepted his fate as the next Bishop of Rome, leader of the world&#8217;s 1.4 billion Catholics. Prevost \u2014 the first pope ever from the United States \u2014 chose Leo XIV as his papal name.<\/p>\n<p>The new pontiff&#8217;s identity was revealed about an hour after white smoke emerged from the chimney above the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican, signaling that a new pope has been chosen with a decisive vote by the cardinal electors gathered for the <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/how-papal-conclave-chose-new-pope\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">papal conclave<\/a><\/span>. After about an hour, the declaration was made from the balcony of St. Peter&#8217;s Basilica: &#8220;Habemus papam.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The crowd in St. Peter&#8217;s Square erupted in stunned applause again as it was announced that the Catholic Church, for the first time in its history, had chosen an American as its leader.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/new-pope-robert-prevost-pope-leo-xiv\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Pope Leo XIV<\/a><\/span> soon stepped onto the balcony himself to deliver his first public remarks as pontiff.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0&#8220;Peace be with you,&#8221; he said as he began speaking to the gathered masses in Italian.<\/p>\n<h2>Who is the new pope?<\/h2>\n<p>Overall, Prevost is considered a centrist, but on many social issues he&#8217;s seen as progressive, embracing marginalized groups like Francis, who championed migrants and the poor. Prevost opposes ordaining women as deacons, for instance, so he&#8217;s seen as conservative on church doctrine.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/05\/07\/2c07eea6-d3b4-4e98-bb41-5cd4031bc278\/thumbnail\/620x414g2\/a12bb1c06ca895271ab8757f4dddfb4b\/cardinal-robert-prevost-2212121082.jpg?v=e61856d8e666e7ed5709adc37bb2d465#\" alt=\"Funeral Takes Place Of Pope Francis \" height=\"414\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/05\/07\/2c07eea6-d3b4-4e98-bb41-5cd4031bc278\/thumbnail\/620x414g2\/a12bb1c06ca895271ab8757f4dddfb4b\/cardinal-robert-prevost-2212121082.jpg?v=e61856d8e666e7ed5709adc37bb2d465 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/05\/07\/2c07eea6-d3b4-4e98-bb41-5cd4031bc278\/thumbnail\/1240x828g2\/00a1ef00fa41669aa5f7a8487cb70f0a\/cardinal-robert-prevost-2212121082.jpg?v=e61856d8e666e7ed5709adc37bb2d465 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">U.S. Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost attends the funeral of Pope Francis, in St. Peter&#8217;s Square, April 26, 2025, in Vatican City.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Franco Origlia\/Getty<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>How does the duration of the 2025 conclave compare to past conclaves?<\/h2>\n<p>The conclave to choose a successor to Pope Francis <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/conclave-2025-to-pick-new-pope-day-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">began on Wednesday<\/a><\/span> afternoon, local time.
