9. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Luz Vasquez, Catholic faithful:
"I was just in the center of Lima and I found out that the white smoke had already gone out. I think it is very good because it seems that he is a Pope who follows the line of late Pope Francis, and also he knows the Peruvian reality, he has lived 40 years here, although he has a foreign surname. But he also has Peruvian nationality."

STORYLINE:
Peruvians were elated Thursday after a Catholic cardinal who spent years guiding the faithful in the South American country and that they see as one of their own was elected pope.
Pope Leo XIV is a dual citizen of the United States and Peru, where he first served as a missionary and then as an archbishop.
That made him the first pope from each country.
In Peru’s capital, Lima, the bells of the cathedral rang after Cardinal Robert Prevost was announced as Pope Francis’ successor.
People outside the church quickly expressed their desire for a papal visit.
Leo, standing on the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica for the first time as pope, addressed in Spanish the people of Chiclayo, which sits just 9 miles (14 kilometers) from Peru’s northern Pacific coast and is among the country’s most populous cities.
“Greetings… to all of you, and in particular, to my beloved diocese of Chiclayo in Peru, where a faithful people have accompanied their bishop, shared their faith,” he said.
