The 69-year-old Prevost graduated from Villanova in 1977 with a bachelor's degree in mathematics.

He is the first American to ever hold the position, and was chosen despite the Vatican's long-held hesitancy to select a pope from one of the world's superpowers. In the past, America has also been seen as too secular in the eyes of the strict dogmatists in Rome.
