CHICAGO (OSV News) — In what started out as a cloudy afternoon, the then bright and sunny stadium of Pope Leo XIV’s favorite baseball team, Chicago’s faithful cheered on one of their own’s election to the papacy. The June 14 celebration, organized by the Archdiocese of Chicago, included a series of short video clips and first-ever airing of Pope Leo XIV’s video message to the world’s youth at Rate Field on Chicago’s Southside. “He’s deliberate, he’s thoughtful. White Sox Senior Vice President Brooks Boyer addressed the pope directly, should he be watching the livestream. Your crowd is certainly ready and your team, the White Sox, is here with open arms,” he said.
