As the world reacts to the historic election of Pope Leo XIV—the first American and first Augustinian pontiff—EWTN has been providing live, in-depth coverage from Rome, offering expert analysis and firsthand accounts. EWTN Vice President Matthew Bunson and Monsignor Roger Landry, both present in St. Peter's Square when the news broke, join to explore the symbolism of Pope Leo XIV’s name, his choice of vestments, papal seal and pectoral cross. Lastly, they discuss what the new pope's Augustinian roots may suggest for the papacy.
