Peru Cheers Election of Pope Leo
The Philippine Star
|May 10, 2025
CALLAO (AFP)—Church bells echoed out as Catholics congregated in the Peruvian capital on Thursday to celebrate the election of American-born Pope Leo XIV, who left his mark after years of service in the Andean country.
-
"He is a good man, even to those who are bad," 73-year-old priest Juan de Dios Rojas told AFP of Robert Prevost during a visit to El Callao beyond Lima.
A photograph of Leo XIV was on display at Dios Rojas' chapel, where the doors have been flung open for the congregation.
Dios Rojas was eager to point to Leo XIV's shared priorities with his Argentine predecessor, in particular meeting with those struggling from poverty.
The 69-year-old Chicago native, who was a bishop in the northern Peruvian city of Chiclayo, was "very attentive to others and seeks by all means to reach out to people in need," Dios Rojas told AFP.
