Pope Leo is descended from Creole people of color in New Orleans. His maternal grandparents, both described as Black or mulatto in various historical records, lived in the city's seventh ward, an area that is traditionally Catholic and a melting pot of people with African, Carribean, and European roots.

I had wondered if he had some Italian in him as well - just curious. Regardless, he seems, thus far, to be a blessing.
Trying to remember what Pizzaballa literally means? Would you believe AI doesn't know.
ByzRus,
Pope Leo’s father is of French/Italian descent, his mother, Spanish descent
