The other day, my mom asked me to look over a letter from Social Security. She will be 61 soon and has to decide when she’ll retire. The document they sent contained her estimated benefits at various ages and a summary of her past wages. I knew our financial circumstances were tough when I was growing up. We were a frijoles and rice family, never owned a home and couldn’t afford vacations. But the Social Security letter laid it out so clearly it hit me like a tariff.

Catholics across the region celebrated the historic announcement Thursday that the first American pope in the 2,000-year history of the church was born and raised in the Chicago area and marveled that the faithful will now be led by a relatable local boy who grew up in the south suburbs, cheers for the White Sox and hits up Aurelio’s pizza when he comes back home.
