Our new Pope is a native of Chicago, Cardinal Robert Prevost, the first American Pope in history. He will take the name Leo XIV.
Bishop Davd P. Talley and our Catholic Diocese of Memphis give thanks to the Lord for our new Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, may he guide the Church with truth and love.
“I join all in a prayer of thanksgiving, in giving us Pope Leo XIV. May the Lord grant him every good, as he begins his loving Petrine service.” — Bishop David P. Talley
