Prevost, who was born in 1955 to parents of Spanish and Franco-Italian fathers in Chicago, attended church services as an altar boy and became ordained in 1982.

Even though he went to Peru three years later, he came back reguarly to the US to be a pastor and a prior in the city where he grew up.

He is of Peruvian nationality and is lovingly remembered as a man who worked with marginalised communities and worked on building bridges.

He had served 10 years as loco parish pastor and as a teaching at seminary at Trujillo, north-western Peru. In his first words as Pope, Leo XIV spoke fondly of Francis his predecessor.

"We still hear in our ears the weak but always courageous voice of Pope Francis who blessed us", he said.

"United and hand in hand with God, let us advance together," he told cheering crowds.

The Pope also expressed himself about his role on the Augustinian Order. In 2014, Francis made him Bishop of Chiclayo in Peru.

He is very well known to cardinals because of his prominent position as prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops in Latin America, which has the task of appointing and overseeing bishops.

He was appointed archbishop in January 2023 and in a matter of months Francis appointed him a cardinal.

What are Pope Leo's views?
The earliest attentions will be paid to the pronouncements of Leo XIV to know if he will continue his predecessor's reforms in the Roman Catholic Church.

Prevost is thought to have held the same views as Francis regarding migrants, poor and environment.

Former roommate of his, Reverend John Lydon told BBC about how he described Prevost as "outgoing", "down to earth", and "very concerned with the poor".

On his own background, in the lead up to his election, Prevost informed Italian network Rai that he had grown up in a family of immigrants.

I was born in the United States... But my grandparents were ambassador's children; they being from all over the world; from France, Spain... I grew up in a very Catholic family, both my parents were very involved in the parish" he said.

Although Prevost was born in the US, the Vatican made reference to him as the second pope from the Americas (Francis was from Argentina). During his days in Peru he could not escape from the sexual abuse scandals that have hovered over the Church, even with his diocese vehemently praying he has not been part of any attempted cover-up.

When choosing the name Leo, Prevost has announced a pledge to dynamic social issues, as experts insist . The first pontiff to assume the name Leo, whose pontificate ended in 461, had a meeting with Attila the Hun, and convinced him not to attack Rome. Pope Leo the last who ruled the Church in 1878 to 1903 wrote an influential treatise on workers' rights.

Former Archbishop of Boston Seán Patrick O'Malley wrote on his blog that the new pontiff "has chosen a name widely associated with the social justice legacy of Pope Leo XIII, who was pontiff at a time of epic upheaval in the world, the time of the industrial revolution, the beginning of Marxism, and widespread immigration".

Pope's new LGBT views are ambiguous, however, some groups, including the conservative College of Cardinals, think he may be less supportive than Francis.

Leo XIV has been seen to be supportive of the sort of declaration that Francis has had where he allows it for blessings for same-sex couples and others who find themselves in "irregular situations" although he has since added that bishops are expected to interpret such directives as per local contexts and cultures.

Last year discussing climate change, Cardinal Prevost had said it was time to switch "from words to action". He demanded that humanity develop a "reciprocal" relationship with the environment.

And he talked about measures that are concrete at the Vatican, such as the installation of solar panels and the use of electric cars.
