The little boy from Chicago who becomes Leo XIV

Not in any disparaging or insulting way, this is very American but it is worth watching. After all, he is an American pope, the first, to boot. And to his credit speaks out strongly against the antics of the president of the US.

From time to time there are little nuggets in it that you may well find interesting.

It’s about the life and times of Bob Prevost, the boy from Chicago, who becomes Pope Leo XIV.

He has close links with the Augustinian Villanova University, as did the late Ronnie Delany.
