(Portland, OR) -- Catholic leaders in Portland are reacting to the election of the first-ever American Pope. Father Michael Guimon of The Grotto in Northeast Portland tells KATU-TV he went to school with Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, now known as Pope Leo the 14th. Guimon says he and Prevost attended seminary school in Chicago. He adds he's "delighted that we have an American pope" and says he believes Pope Leo will share Portland's values on social justice. The 69-year-old Pope Leo was born in Chicago and attended Villanova in Philadelphia.
