Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost becomes the 267th pontiff. He chose Pope Leo XIV as his regnal name and as such honored Pope Leo XIII (Gioacchino Vincenzo Raffaele Luigi Pecci). How Pope Leo XIII inspired Cardinal Prevost might probably interest some scholars who are in a perpetual curiosity to know the trajectory of continuing the reformation within the church. Perhaps, we may begin to understand by getting to know a bit of Pope Leo XIII's life in the 18th century.
