Though born in Chicago, Robert Francis Prevost was not a household name in the United States, having lived most of his life in Europe and South America.

    Many Americans were around, some of whom live locally, or attend school, and others who were visiting — either intentionally for the conclave or simply providentially. Chuck Walker and his wife, Annette, from the Archdiocese of Los Angeles traveled to Rome specifically for the conclave. “It is everything I expected it to be,” Annette Walker, 68, told OSV News while on smoke watch the morning of May 8.
