Los católicos de toda la región celebraron el jueves 8 de mayo el histórico anuncio de que el primer papa estadounidense en los 2,000 años de historia de la Iglesia había nacido y se había criado en la zona de Chicago, y se maravillaron de que los fieles vayan a ser dirigidos ahora por un muchacho de la zona, que se crió en los suburbios del sur, anima a los Medias Blancas y va a la pizzería Aurelio’s cuando vuelve a casa.

El otro día, mi madre me pidió que le echara un vistazo a una carta de la Seguridad Social. Pronto cumplirá 61 años y tiene que decidir cuándo se jubila. El documento que le enviaron contenía sus prestaciones estimadas a distintas edades y un resumen de sus salarios anteriores. Sabía que nuestras circunstancias económicas eran difíciles cuando yo era pequeña. Éramos una familia de frijoles y arroz, nunca tuvimos casa propia y no podíamos permitirnos vacaciones.

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.

CHICAGO — Catholics across the region are celebrating the historic announcement that the first American pope in the 2,000-year history of the church was born and raised in the Chicago area. In his first words as Pope Leo XIV, Robert Francis Prevost announced “peace be with you,” invoking a message of dialogue and care for those in need from Vatican City on Thursday. “When I heard the news of the new Holy Father at that moment, at least here in Chicago, the sun came out,” said the Rev.

I broke the story of Mayor Brandon Johnson firing Alison Arwady with @byaliceyin. He’s now claiming in an @axios story she resigned instead of got fired — a real head scratcher. https://t.co/NNAXSRllMl https://t.co/vKli0NDcI7
