New Pope Leo XIV Reportedly a Cubs Fan

AP Photo/Alessandra TarantinoIt’s always a good day when you are no longer a Cardinal, and that goes double for Robert Francis Prevost of Chicago. Now known as Pope Leo XIV following a two-day conclave, the pontiff is apparently a Cubs fan. Perhaps he can put in a good word for the health of the pitching staff for the rest of the season.

ABC News just confirmed he's a Cubs fan https://t.co/cFEJPgxEmm

The next burning question is whether he orders his Italian beef baptized.
