- The Augustinian intellectual heritage, and the sketches of the Augustinian saints in his pectoral cross
- Peru as a place of mission: its geography, culture, and the history of Catholicism in northwest South America
- Leo as a fully American pope shaped by both the U.S. and Latin AmericaCardinal Prevost's Vatican career culminating in his appointment as prefect for the Dicastery for Bishops
- His relationship with Pope Francis, and early decisions that signal a desire to place himself within the Church's tradition
