The new Pope being from the Chicago area feels discussion worthy. The fact he is also the first American pope is especially auspicious. The Bears might even have a good season now that God is on their side.
Your brother becomes Pope and the media descends with the same question, Cubs or Sox? I love it! (and yes, for the first time, I used banned punctuation)
Manny’s Deli posted a Vatican City Special sandwich last night. So I just made one for lunch today. Pastrami, Coleslaw, Swiss on an Onion Roll. now that’s a good sandwich, just my deli pastrami is not quite Manny’s-level homemade pastrami.
Yes! He said his brother loves pizza of all kinds but his favorite is Aurelio’s thin crust. But he went on to say he loves Chicago dogs (but just laughed at the mustard/catsup question)

I’m a Southern Illinoisan, and not a Catholic, but I’m excited about the new Pope - and him being from Chicago.

Social media’s reactions to the Chicago Pope are not disappointing. The memes are hilarious.

The new Pope votes Republican: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/us/pope-leo-xiv-politics-voting.html
He’s also part African-American: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/us/pope-leo-creole-new-orleans.html It would be nice if he were to visit St. Augustine in New Orleans: https://staugchurch.org/
