El perfil definitivo de Le?n XIV, escrito por Elise Ann Allen, corresponsal en el Vaticano.
Una mirada l?cida al hombre detr?s del nuevo papado.
Aires de c?nclave, humo blanco, un nuevo papa. qui?n es Robert Prevost, el hombre que hoy es Le?n XIV? C?mo su trayectoria puede marcar su papado? Qu? rasgos personales lo llevaron a ser elegido pont?fice en tiempos en los que la Iglesia cat?lica se debat?a entre continuar el legado de Francisco I o retroceder las reformas avanzadas por este? C?mo se laz? como papa de manera abrumadoramente mayoritaria y qu? puede significar?
La periodista Elise Ann Allen, corresponsal en Roma del prestigioso portal especializado en temas vaticanos Crux (y muy familiarizada con el caso Sodalicio en el Per?), esboza un detallado y agudo perfil del ser humano que ocupa hoy el sill?n de Pedro: su infancia en Chicago, su temprana vocaci?n, los valores que lo formaron como agustino, su larga y constante labor como misionero en Am?rica Latina y en especial en Per?, su marcado car?cter de l?der en diversas instancias de la Iglesia, su relaci?n con su antecesor, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, y su ?ltimo tramo como cardenal y encargado del Dicasterio para los obispos en el Vaticano, que lo termin? de consagrar como un aut?ntico “ciudadano del mundo”. Todas estas facetas tienen especial importancia para anticipar c?mo podr? marcar el papado de Le?n XIV a la Iglesia en un mundo polarizado y en constante cambio como el actual. Qu? continuidades, pero tambi?n qu? diferencias, ya han empezado a manifestarse en su primeras semanas de pontificado?
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The definite profile of Pope Leon XIV, written by Elise Ann Allen, Vatican correspondent.
A lucid view to the man behind the new papacy.
Winds of conclave, white smoke, a new Pope. Who is Robert Prevost, the man we now know as Leon XIV? How might his career mark his papacy? What personal traits led him to be elected pontiff in times when the Catholic Church is currently debating the continuation of Pope Francis’ legacy or reverse the reforms promoted by him? How did he become Pope with such an overwhelming majority, and what could this mean?
Journalist Elise Ann Allen, Rome correspondent for the prestigious portal specialized in Vatican affairs,
Crux (and very familiar with the Sodalicio case in Peru), draws a detailed and sharp profile of the human being now sitting on Saint Peter’s chair: his childhood in Chicago; his early vocation; the values that formed him as Augustinian; his long and constant missionary work in Latin America, specially Peru; his marked leadership in several Church instances; his relationship with his predecessor, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, and his last stretch as cardinal, charged with the dicastery for bishops in the Vatican, which ultimately stablished him as an authentic “citizen of the world”. All of these facets have special relevance in anticipation to how the papacy of Leon XIV will define the Church in the polarized, ever-changing world we live in today. What continuities, but also differences, have already started to show in the first few weeks of his papacy?
