The contrast between President Donald Trump and Chicago-born Pope Leo XIV couldn’t be more stark — politically, personally or in their world views. They lead in different roles and realms.

Donald Trump touted how he won the Catholic vote as he blasted an ABC reporter for "effectively" saying "Pope Leo's selection had nothing to do with Trump." The President has said said it is "an honor" to have an American pope but there has been much talk about whether Leo's politics align with those of the current administration.

Robert Francis Prevost, who was born in Chicago and attended Villanova University, was elected as the new pope on Thursday and chose Leo XIV as his papal name.
