Peruvian President Dina Boluarte on Thursday hailed the election of Pope Leo XIV as a "historic moment" for her country, where the American-Peruvian pontiff spent more than 20 years as a missionary and bishop. The US-born pope, who became a Peruvian national in 2015, "chose to be one of us, to live among us and to carry in his heart the faith, culture and dreams of this country," Boluarte wrote on Facebook. vel/ljc/cb/acb ...
