The newly elected Pope Leo XIV is gaining widespread attention for his surprisingly unconventional university degree.

Cardinal Robert Prevost, now known as Pope Leo XIV, was appointed as the new pope last week at 69 years old, becoming the first American to hold the papacy. His background as a missionary in Peru and Bishop of Chiclayo has intrigued people, especially his surprising academic journey majoring in Mathematics before pursuing his religious vocation. Despite the unexpected nature of his academic background, Pope Leo XIV's unique combination of experiences has captured public interest and sparked humorous reactions online, showcasing the unpredictable nature of life and perhaps a divine calling.
