      He’s only the second pontiff from the Americas. 265 have been from outside our hemisphere. 69 years old, Chicago native, parents were teacher and librarian. He has two brothers. Members of St. Mary of the Assumption. Won on the fourth ballot (or later).  Studied math at Villanova, the only Augustinian Catholic university in the USA. Leo is the only pope from the Augustinian order. Master’s of Divinity from Chicago Catholic Theological Union in 1982. Early ministry in Peru. My cousin, who lives in Lima, says he is really well-liked, well-respected in that country.
