Pope Leo XIV to address young Chicagoans via video at Rate Field event

Pope Leo XIV will address the crowd via video at a mass celebrating his ascent to the papacy that will be held at Chicago's Rate Field next month.

According to the Archdiocese of Chicago, the pope will address “the young people of the world” via a video message that will be broadcast for the first time at a massive event being held at the ballpark on Saturday, June 14.

The event, called “Chicago Celebrates Pope Leo XIV,” will feature a Catholic mass and other programming, according to officials.

According to the Archdiocese of Chicago, gates will open at the ballpark at 12:30 p.m. on June 14, with the program getting underway at 2:30 p.m. That will be followed by a 4 p.m. mass, according to officials.

The Pope is also counter-programming against the No Kings protests. TomSlick May 28 #14

Those protests aren't run by malignant narcissists who will be furious with the Pope for upstaging them. pnwmom May 28 #24
