The first Pope from America has connections to West Michigan.
Born in Chicago in 1955, the family of freshly elected Pope Leo XIV has confirmed he supports the White Sox over the Cubs—but do we have insight into the Pope’s soccer loyalties?
The Pope’s Visit to West Michigan:
Various news sources, including Fox17, report that the new Pope, Robert Prevost by birth, completed his education at a minor seminary in West Michigan and even went back for a high school reunion.
Now referred to as the Felt Estate in Holland, MI, it was called the St. Augustine Catholic Seminary when Robert Prevost finished high school in 1973. These are indeed crucial years to be here in The Mitten—are you suggesting there’s a possibility Pope Leo XIV could hop on the Lions hype train?
What a gift that would be!
As per a source on social media, The Detroit Line, there might be a possibility. Does this imply that the Lions are assured a victory at Super Bowl LX? Although the Detroit Lions have undoubtedly put in the effort needed to reach Santa Clara next year, a little divine intervention certainly wouldn’t be unwelcome.
The Detroit Tigers certainly seem capable of faring well this season, which is positive for Tigers supporters since we already understand where Pope Leo XIV’s loyalties are placed. Amid the fervor surrounding the election of America’s first Pope, the media erroneously stated that Pope Leo XIV supported the Chicago Cubs, but the Prevost family promptly stepped in to clarify,
Whoever said Cubs on the radio got it wrong…It’s Sox…He was never, ever a Cubs fan – John Prevost
I guess that’s beneficial for White Sox supporters since they could really use a miracle at this moment.
