He is from the Americas!

North, Chicago, and South, Peru.

Perhaps he will also have a visit and stay in Canada.

What a delightful contrast to the US President.

Love this.

He may just get a whole of converts to both his teams. Probably some fall-aways too.

Those Cubs fans...

Pope Leo's professed alignment with 'ordinary people' includes being a baseball fan...very nice. Thanks for sharing!

Ya know...Martin Luther was once an Augustinian.👀

I did not know that about Martin Luther. How interesting. Perhaps he also liked baseball!

I just shared your poem with my White Sox family. Literally. I grew up about 15 min from old Comiskey. My grandfather, father, and brother all worked for the Sox in one capacity or another.

Seriously!? That's amazing news. The fact he is from Chicago and a baseball fan makes him seems so much more real than the other Popes!
