Pope Leo XIV becomes first American to lead Catholic Church

Season 2025 Episode 128 | 2m 38s

A new pope has been elected, and in a major surprise, an American has been chosen for the first time. Robert Francis Prevost will now be known as Pope Leo XIV. In his first remarks as the leader of more than one billion Roman Catholics around the world, the pope spoke of peace and building bridges to an ecstatic crowd in St. Peter's Square. Geoff Bennett reports.
