Robert Prevost gave a heartfelt appraisal to Pope Francis, who died aged 88 on Easter Monday last month, as he addressed adorning crowds in Rome after being unveiled as the 267th pontiff. The 69-year-old, who is also history's first ever American Pope, appeared in front of jubilant followers on the balcony of St Peter's Basilica, telling them 'Peace be with you' and offering a reminder of God's unconditional love. 'And Pope Francis, in fact, was always courageous, and he blessed Rome. The Pope that blessed Rome gave his blessing to the world, to the whole world on that Easter morning,' he added. Pope Leo went onto thank Francis for his work and his 'brother cardinals' who have chosen me to be the successor of Peter'.
