Dr. Robert Barnes+FollowAmerica’s First Pope = Deep Dish Eucharist?An American pope?! Chicago’s own Cardinal Prevost just became Pope Leo XIV, and the internet is losing it. People are already joking the Eucharist will be deep dish, the Vatican’s getting Bulls intro music, and Chicago finally got a pope before a 4,000-yard QB. Wild times when the College of Cardinals picks a Cubs fan to run the show. Only in America would we meme the papacy this hard. 🍕🇺🇸 #PopeLeoXIV #AmericanPope #Chicago #Vatican #CatholicMemes #Culture00Share
Elizabeth Smith+FollowFirst American Pope! Live from Vatican 🇺🇸✝️History was made today as Cardinal Robert Prevost from Chicago became Pope Leo XIV—the first American and first Augustinian friar ever elected pontiff! White smoke rose from the Sistine Chapel, and crowds in St. Peter’s Square cheered as he greeted the world: “May the peace be with you.” Friends and family say Leo is humble, thoughtful, and always wanted to be a priest—even as a kid. His old classmates call him “Bob” and say he’s the perfect fit for the job. Americans in Rome were thrilled, and celebrations are popping up back home—Philly even put him on a billboard, and the Empire State Building will shine gold and white tonight! Pope Leo’s schedule is packed: Mass in the Sistine Chapel, prayers from the balcony, and a big media event Monday. The world is watching—what do you hope he’ll do next? #PopeLeoXIV #HistoryMade #AmericanPope #Vatican #CatholicChurch #ChicagoPride #Augustinian #FaithNews #Spirituality00Share
