CWN Editor's Note: Pope Leo XIV engaged in a playful exchange with a Chicago baseball fan during his public audience on October 14.
As the Pope toured St. Peter’s Square in the popemobile, someone in the crowd shouted out: “Go Cubs!” Smiling, the Pope replied: “They lost.”
The Chicago Cubs were eliminated from playoff contention this week. Pope Leo is a lifetime fan of the crosstown team, the Chicago White Sox.
