'The first reaction was shock' - Chicagoans react to Pope Leo XIV

Robert Francis Prevost, 69, will be the 267th occupant of the throne of St Peter and he will be known as Leo XIV.

Born in Chicago in 1955 to parents of Spanish and Franco-Italian descent, Prevost served as an altar boy and was ordained in 1982.

Although he moved to Peru three years later, he returned regularly to the US to serve as a pastor and a prior in his home city.

The BBC's Nomia Iqbal spoke to Chicagoans to get their reaction on the first American to fill the role of Pope.
