Cardinal Robert Prevost was elected as the 267th Pope, taking the name Pope Leo XIV. He is a dedicated White Sox fan, as confirmed by his brother amidst speculation he might be a Cubs supporter. The Cubs initially claimed him as theirs with an announcement, but the White Sox quickly set the record straight on social media. Prevost's election marks a historic moment as he becomes the first American pope in 2,000 years of the Catholic Church, intriguing fans beyond baseball as well.
He was never ever a Cubs fan, so I don't know where that came from. He was always a Sox fan. Our mother was a Cubs fan.
Hey Chicago. He's a Cubs fan! The sign read. The image was posted to the Cubs' social media, but the White Sox quickly responded.
Pope Leo XIV became the first American to ever be elected pontiff in the Catholic Church's 2,000-year history.
Well, would you look at that... Congratulations to Chicago's own Pope Leo XIV.
