Robert Francis Prevost, Pope Leo XIV – what's his personality like?

Are religious leaders cut from the same cloth as other human
beings? In other words, do they have human weaknesses like all of us do, or are they somehow noble or perfect in every way, and that is why they have reached the position they have? 

Their hands will reveal how great they really are. The hands of the spiritual leaders I have read on this blog tell me that it is rare to find a perfect human being, even amongst spiritual heads. Most spiritual leaders do possess something special, however. And just like amongst other human beings, it varies.

With regards to the previous Pope, Pope Francis, it was likely the intensity of his views and his unflinching commitment to the religious cause that made him special, but the pragmatic outlook must also have helped to elevate him to that position. It set him apart from the more conservative Pope, Benedict XVI.

And what about Robert Francis Prevost, who is the current head of the Catholic Church – Pope Leo XIV? Where does his greatness lie?
