Pope Leo XIV is the first North American to lead the Catholic Church. But he was not considered to be in the top 10 likely candidates to succeed Pope Francis, in part due to his nationality.
There had been an assumption that an American pope would mean too much power concentrated in the world's most dominant superpower.
