Robert Francis Prevost was yesterday elected the 267th pope of the Roman Catholic Church, becoming the first pontiff from the U.S. He took the papal name Leo XIV and greeted a cheering crowd of followers at St. Peter’s Square by saying, “Peace be with you.”

The choice defied a longstanding belief that church leaders would never select a pope from a global superpower that already has considerable influence. “In a world that seems upside down, old taboos are also breaking in the Vatican, where the idea of an American pope was unimaginable for generations,” Jason Horowitz, our Rome bureau chief, said.

before the conclave over whether to continue the inclusive agenda of the last pope, Francis, or return to a conservative doctrinal path, supporters had pitched then-Cardinal Prevost, 69, as a balanced alternative. In his first remarks to the crowd that had gathered in St. Peter’s Square, Leo put great emphasis on the need to build bridges.

In return, Britain will open up access to beef, ethanol and other U.S. products.
