Peruvian Catholics rejoice over their former bishop becoming pope
Residents of Chiclayo, Peru, celebrate outside the cathedral where Pope Leo XIV delivered homilies and interacted with parishioners when he was a bishop.
The 69-year-old Chicago native first set foot in Peru some four decades ago as a missionary, before becoming bishop of the diocese of Chiclayo in the northwest of the country and gaining citizenship in 2015.
