I love that the first American Pope was born in Chicago. Lots of great people come from Chicago. I was born there myself! And it is a very Catholic city, so it tracks.

I am not and never will be Catholic, for a variety of reasons, but the Pope is a very influential person in this world, and for that reason, who it is matters to me. Welcome, Pope Leo!
