On March 14, 2023, the bishops of Peru awarded the Gold Medal of St. Toribio de Mogrovejo to Bishop Robert Prevost in recognition of his outstanding pastoral work in the country and for being named prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops by Pope Francis.

During the ceremony, Prevost — now Pope Leo XIV — referenced how he met with then-Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio several times during the years when he served as prior general of the Augustinians.

“I won’t tell you the reason, but let’s just say that when Cardinal Bergoglio and I met, we weren’t always in agreement,” Prevost said with a smile, without specifying what disagreements he had with Pope Francis.

‘I’ll never be a bishop’​

Hmmm... seems that he is trying hard to make us think he's different from Pope Francis.
They didn't agree in perhaps minor tiny insignificant matters. Not in major issues, otherwise why would Pope Francis made him a cardinal??
(He didn't even tell us what issues that they didn't agree on)
Pray more.

I’m not going to be paranoid about it. I’m hopeful. So far so good.
