Pope Leo XIV Chicago roots

CHICAGO, --  From the south side to the Vatican, Chicago is home to the newly elected pontiff Robert Prevost. He grew up in Dolton, one and half hours away from South Bend, and much like his predecessor, he is looking to rewrite the long standing traditions of the catholic church.

In his first address to the world, Pope Leo said Catholics have to seek together to be a missionary church, a church that builds bridges and dialogue and to show charity, presence and love.
