An interesting thing I learned about this new pope. While he was born and raised in Chicago, as we've all learned. He actually began his papal journey right here, in St Louis. Technically...he belongs to the 314... This is an interview with a man who knew him during his time in St Louis. Small world!

Pope Leo XIV started his papal journey in St Louis

Heard he was a regular at late hours at uncle bills

As all the greats, got their hands dirty in St. Louis so they could do bigger things in Chicago.

I kid I kid.

This kind of story reminds me how much STL has quietly contributed to major moments or figures in history. We don’t always get the recognition, but the impact is real
