CWN Editor's Note: Pope Leo XIV is viewed favorably by 84% of American Catholics, according to a new Pew Research survey. Only 4% of respondents had a negative view.
However a majority of those questioned (52%) said that they did not know much about the first American Pontiff, and/or that they could not predict how his leadership of the Church would compare with that of Pope Francis.
