From thin-crust pizza to goat stew and a hot dog without ketchup, Pope Leo’s culinary tastes tell the story of a South Side kid turned global shepherd. And yes, there’s even a mural blessing fans near Section 140.

    Pope Leo Preaches Healing—and Appoints a Bishop in China
    2025/06/12

    The Disruptor's Dilemma: Will Pope Leo Break the Pattern?
    2025/06/09
    For nearly 70 years, papal succession has followed a predictable rhythm: revolutionary disruptors followed by steady caretakers. From John XXIII's Vatican II bombshell to Francis's field hospital church, each pope has either shaken up the system or maintained the status quo. Now Pope Leo XIV—the Villanova math major turned pontiff—faces the ultimate question: Will he be Francis's faithful caretaker or chart his own disruptive course? We trace the fascinating pattern of papal personalities and examine the early clues about where Leo might take the Church next. Plus: A Wildcat's perspective on having their college classmate become the leader of 1.3 billion Catholics.

    2025/06/08

However, any formal renunciation would carry profound international implications. Despite potentially valid practical motivations, such an action would likely face interpretation as the pope rejecting his native country, potentially generating unwanted political narratives.
