Who is Pope Leo XIV, the first pope with a strong online presence?

    Share on

Pope Leo XIV, formerly Cardinal Robert Prevost, made history on May 8, 2025, as the first American pope though he's often considered the least traditionally American due to his global background and Peruvian citizenship.

Known for his missionary work in South America and leadership in a key Vatican office, he brings a blend of international experience and progressive vision to the papacy.

A mathematics graduate from Villanova University and self-described amateur tennis player, he also stands out for his digital presence.

Using the handle @drprevost on X (formerly Twitter), Pope Leo XIV has shown strong engagement with social and political issues. His retweets offer insight into his views: criticism of border policies, support for racial justice, immigration reform, climate action, and calls for compassion in leadership.

He's highlighted articles countering figures like US Vice President JD Vance and condemned child-parent separation at borders. With over 360,800 followers, his feed reflects a commitment to Catholic social doctrine and moral responsibility.

While not always his original words, his online activity mirrors his lifelong dedication to advocating for the marginalized and living out Gospel values.
