Just hours after the election of Pope Leo XIV, media discourse was already making much of his Chicago roots, including discussing which sports teams he supports and where he goes for pizza. But Pope Leo’s Chicago connections have a deeper significance that point to how he may lead the church.

The election of Cardinal Robert Prevost, O.S.A. as Pope Leo XIV represents a profound milestone in the life of the Catholic Church, with a U.S.-born prelate being elected to the papacy for the first time. A missionary who spent most of his priesthood in Peru, Pope Leo’s election suggests a major continuation of the direction set by Pope Francis for the church as it navigates the 21st century.

On Monday April 21, 2025, at age 88, Pope Francis passed away. He had recently spent 38 days in the hospital for double pneumonia. Elected to the papacy on March 13, 2013, Jorge Mario Bergoglio was the first prelate from the global South and the first Jesuit to lead the Catholic Church. He was also the first pope to choose the name “Francis.” In many respects, his name set the tone for his papacy. Like St. Francis of Assisi, Pope Francis prized simplicity.

This year, reading the gospels during Holy Week, I can’t help but put myself in Mary’s shoes. What must it have been like to see Jesus at the cross, her little boy arrested by the same government oppressing her people? This woman, who sang the Magnificat when she learned she was pregnant, who dreamed about overthrowing oppression and building a new world, must have been so proud of her son. He had taught people a new way of being together and fought to build the world she taught him about.

There were parts of Flow that made me cuddle my 3-month-old black kitten a little tighter. The main character, a tiny black cat, moves and acts exactly like a real cat, whether it’s pouncing on a lightbeam or flattening itself in fright when meeting a strange dog. The animation, by creator Gints Zilbalodis, is both dreamy and hyperrealistic, making it hard to watch the tiny cat find itself in peril after peril, including several near drownings and being swept away in a hungry bird’s talons.

"Christian love is not a concentric expansion of interests that little by little extend to other persons and groups." FYI, it's not really a great thing when the pope calls you out directly in a letter @JDVance.... https://t.co/IXzaOdPiHv

Tell me you know nothing about child care without telling me you know nothing about child care. (In case Vance is curious, my parents both still work, and no one in my kiddo's daycare--all of whom I loved--had 6 year degrees. But tell me more about how to save that 2400/month.)

Q: “What can we do about lowering the cost of daycare?” JD Vance: “…Maybe Grandpa and Grandma want to help a little bit more. Maybe there’s an uncle/aunt who wants to help a little bit more…” @Acyn https://t.co/MrKZ0cmyFx
