Pope Leo XIV’s video message to Chicago
Digest more
Rate Field hosted a special mass and celebration in honor of Chicago-born Pope Leo XIV, the first American-born pope and a confirmed White Sox fan.
One has danced atop the dugout at Rate Field. Another earned a Topps trading card for throwing a perfect strike. And a third has run the Chicago Marathon 13 consecutive times. Sports is a habit, but their life’s work is a higher calling. They’re nuns.
Tickets for the event, which is to be held at the Rate Field stadium, home of the Chicago White Sox (the pontiff’s favorite team), are being sold online at $5 each
