New Pope Leo XIV Reportedly a Cubs Fan

It’s always a good day when you are no longer a Cardinal, and that goes double for Robert Francis Prevost of Chicago. Now known as Pope Leo XIV — the first pope from the US — following a two-day conclave, the pontiff is apparently a Cubs fan. Perhaps he can put in a good word for the health of the pitching staff for the rest of the season.

The next burning question is whether he orders his Italian beef baptized.
