There's no doubt that Pope Leo XIV is a Chicago Bears fan, and now he has the perfect way to show it.

On Monday, Vice President JD Vance met with Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican, where he gifted the Chicago-born pope a custom Bears jersey, according to CBS News. It included his name (Pope Leo) and number (naturally, XIV).

“Good choice,” he told Vance when he received the jersey.

Earlier this month, head coach Ben Johnson said he'd "heard rumblings" that Pope Leo XIV was a Bears fan.
