Pope’s brother makes candid confession about Leo XIV’s past

As the world celebrates the election of Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope, a lighthearted debate has emerged in Chicago: Cubs or White Sox? Born in Bronzeville and raised in a divided sports household, Pope Leo’s loyalties lean firmly toward the South Side. His mother was a Cubs fan, while his father supported the St. Louis Cardinals, but young Robert chose the White Sox.

Pope Leo’s connection to the White Sox runs deep, having grown up in Dolton and attending mass at St. Mary of the Assumption. His brother, John Prevost, confirmed that Robert has always been a dedicated Sox fan, a loyalty that remains strong despite his new role as the spiritual leader of 1.4 billion Catholics worldwide.

After his election on May 8, the Chicago Cubs attempted to claim him with a tribute referencing legendary broadcaster Harry Caray. However, the White Sox quickly responded, stating, “Family always knows best,” and sent a team jersey and cap to the Vatican to celebrate their connection to the new pope.
