For the first time in history, an American has been elected Pope, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church. Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost is the 267th pope, and will be known as Leo XIV. In the coming days, weeks, and months, we will learn more about Pope Leo and what he will bring to the Catholic Church. He has been described as a moderate and a “balancing figure,” suggesting a willingness to find common ground and avoid extremes, rather than leaning strongly towards one side of the spectrum.
He was born in Chicago and studied at Villanova University. He speaks English, Italian, Spanish, French and Portuguese, and he also can read German and Latin.
Born and raised in St. Paul, Jay Roberts began his radio career in Mankato, MN, with stops in Minneapolis (93.7 The Edge, 92 KQRS, and Zone 105), Northern Michigan, West Central Minnesota, and nationwide on a syndicated radio network. He’s passionate about the music, and our communities. When not on the air, Jay enjoys hunting & fishing, boating, exotic cars, and chasing severe storms. Jay and his wife and daughter also enjoy volunteering and supporting various non-profit organizations, and is an advocate for organ and tissue donation.
