Global Newspapers Showcase Historic Election of Pope Leo XIV
An individual reads the Vatican’s L’Osservatore Romano newspaper on Friday in Vatican City, showcasing the new pope.

On Friday, newspapers across the globe prominently featured the election of Robert Francis Prevost as Pope Leo XIV, using bold photographs, clever wordplay, and references to his diverse heritage.

Born in Chicago, Pope Leo XIV made history as the first pontiff from North America, a fact widely emphasized by both tabloids and broadsheets alike.

Numerous publications incorporated the traditional Latin phrase “Habemus papam,” meaning “We have a pope,” marking a rare instance of foreign language usage in English-language headlines.
