Brother answers burning question: Is Pope Leo XIV a Chicago White Sox or Cubs fan?

by: BJ Lutz, Dana Rebik, Associated Press

CHICAGO (WGN) — Almost immediately after Chicago-born Cardinal Robert Prevost’s election as Pope, the question emerged: is the pontiff a fan of the Cubs or the White Sox?

Speaking to WGN on Thursday, Prevost’s brother John answered the burning question: Pope Leo XIV, as Prevost is now known, is a fan of the South Siders.

“He was never, ever a Cubs fan. So I don’t know where that came from. He was always a Sox fan,” John Prevost said.

But the household was split: mom was a Cubs fan and his father was a fan of the St. Louis Cardinals.
