I also want to mention Cardinal Robert Prevost, who on Thursday became Pope Leo XIV, and I want to extend my congratulations on his election and my prayers for his service. I know that his election is particularly moving for American Catholics, who for the first time in history will be led by an American-born Pope. I am very happy for them, and I look forward to seeing what this son of the Midwest brings to the Catholic Church and to the world. ____________________
