Leo XIV Elected First American Pope

  • Summary

  • In one of the oldest of old-world ceremonies still in practice, 133 cardinals chose the next leader of the Catholic church. And though he is said to be, in many ways, a natural successor to Pope Francis, Vatican-watchers have long doubted the chances that an American would be elevated to the papacy. But for the first time in history there is an American pope. CNN Correspondents Christopher Lamb, David Culver and Brynn Gingras bring us the latest and reactions from both Rome and America.
