STORYLINE:
A new photo of Leo XIV stands by frescoes representing past papal visits to a Virgin Mary icon in the Sanctuary of Our Mother of Good Counsel, commemorating where he prayed two days after being elected pope.
But the new pontiff is still “Father Bob” to the handful of Augustinian friars who serve in the basilica in a hilltop medieval village — and the tight-knit community of Augustinians worldwide.
They knew Leo when he was their global leader, seminary teacher or simply fellow brother in black habits with thick belts and large hooded capes.
“With Father Robert, then Very Reverend Prior General, we have had to change the names, but Father Bob … we realise the person hasn’t changed at all, it’s still him,” said the Reverend Alberto Giovannetti, 78.
He was born in Genazzano in the wooded hills outside Rome and entered the seminary at age 11.
