From the ChicagoSunTimes:
Cardinal #RobertPrevost, born in #Chicago, is the 1st American #pope
“I’m really proud,” said Noelle Neis, a childhood friend who, w/her 4 siblings, grew up in the same parish as the Prevosts, the old St. Mary of the Assumption on Chicago’s border w/Dolton.
“To think about we knew him when he was a kid,” Neis said. “He’s just like one of us. Before it was so out of reach for anybody.”
#Pope #LeoXIV
