Pope Leo XIV, born Robert Francis Prevost, was born on September 14, 1955, in Chicago, Illinois, USA
. For historical context:
- Pope Leo XIII was born Gioacchino Vincenzo Raffaele Luigi Pecci on March 2, 1810, in Carpineto Romano, near Rome, Papal States
- Pope Leo I (Leo the Great) was born around the 4th century, likely in Tuscany, Italy
Thus, the current Pope Leo XIV is American, specifically from Chicago, while previous Popes Leo were born in Italy.
