Cardinal Robert Francis Brevost: From Chicago to the Vatican

Robert Francis Brevost, recently elected as the 267th Pope of the Catholic Church under the name Liu Fourteenth, represents a historical milestone as the first American back. The path of his life was born on September 14, 1955 in Chicago, Illinois, mixing his life path from both the United States and Latin America, especially from Peru, where he built an important part of his ecclesiastical career and even acquired nationality.

Religious and academic composition

Predost’s religious journey began in 1977, when he joined Novitiate from the Order of Saint Augustine (OSA) in the province of a good lady, in St. Louis. Four years later, on August 29, 1981, he issued his official votes, strengthening his commitment to religious life. Its academic formation in the Catholic theological Union began in Chicago, where he obtained a diploma in theology.

On 27, Prevost was sent to Rome to deepen his studies in Canon’s Law at Santo Thomas Papanese (Akino Universityangelic). On June 19, 1982, he received a priestly matter, a basic step in his ecclesiastical career. His academic dedication was crowned in 1987 with his doctorate, and defended a thesis entitled “The former Local Role by Saint Augustine.”

Missionary experience in Peru

The Prevost Association with Latin America started in 1985, when he was sent to work on a mission ChulucanasIn Piura, Peru, where he remained until 1986. This experience was the beginning of a long relationship with the country of the Andes, which intensified in 1988, when he returned as director of the Augustine joint training project at Vicariatos de ChulucanasIQuitos and APurímac.

During his stay in Trujillo, he performed multiple jobs: before society (1988-1992), Training Director (1988-1998) and professor of professors (1992-1998). In the diocese of the locality, he held the position of judicial deputy, professor of enemy and the innocent and ethical law at the main school “San Carlos and San Marcelo”. His relationship with Peru became so deep that he had the nationality of Peru in 2015, and he was often called the “bilateral priest”.

Ascending in the ecclesiastical hierarchy

In 1999, Prevost was elected before the boycott of the “Mother of the Good Council” in Chicago. His leadership was recognized when, only two and a half years later, the ordinary general chapter was elected to him a general order of Sant Augustine, a position that he entrusted again in 2007.

Pope Francis showed confidence in Predost by his name is the Apostolic Officer of Chicoli, Peru, on November 3, 2014, raised it to the dignity of the Episcopal. Its path was climbing with the group’s nominations for the clergy in 2019 and the group of bishops in 2020.

Cardinlette and Babylon, not the Vatican

In 2023, Prevost was called to Rome to take high liability sites in the Vatican. He was appointed mayor of Deathrean for Bishops and Chairman of the Pontifical Committee of Latin America. This strategic role was allowed to maintain regular contact with the Catholic hierarchy in the region that still focuses the largest number of Catholic believers in the world.

Pope Francis was able to Cardinal by Cardinal on September 30, 2023. Moderation and its ability to build bridges between the various currents within the church is highlighted on the characteristics.

Elections like Pope Liu XIV

On May 8, 2025, Robert Francis Pierrest was elected as the Bayter 267 caliph, and chose the fourteenth liu name. These elections represent multiple historical features: it is the first American intensity, the first Pope Augustine and the second American after the Argentine Francis.

In recent statements, Prevost stressed the need for the church to continue in the transformation process: “We cannot stop, we cannot return. We have to see how the Holy Spirit wants to be the Church today and tomorrow, because the world of today in which the Church lives, was not the same 10 or 20 years ago.” This perspective reflects his alignment with the reform of his predecessor, Pope Francis.
