The College of Cardinals has elected a new Pope, marking a historic moment in the Catholic Church's history.
Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost was elected Pope Leo XIV, making him the first American to hold the office after about 24-hours of Conclave in the Vatican City.
For many, Pope Leo XIV brings a fresh perspective to the papacy.
On Thursday evening, the traditional white smoke billowed from the Sistine Chapel, signaling the historic election of the first American Pope in the Church's two millennia of history.
