Pope Leo XIV lead his first mass at the Sistine Chapel earlier Friday as Catholics around the world continue to celebrate his election.

The conclave came to a relatively fast decision to elect Cardinal Robert Prevost as the first-ever American pope.

The Chicago native and Villanova University graduate was chosen during a conclave that lasted 25 hours.

Monsignor Kevin Sullivan, the executive director of the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York, joined “The Rush Hour” on Friday to talk about his reaction to the election of Pope Leo XIV.
