In May 2025, Pope Leo XIV succeeded Pope Francis, becoming the first American pope in history.
- He has since spoken frequently about global issues, from immigration to the Israel–Palestine conflict, emphasizing compassion, fraternity, and solidarity in his apostolic exhortation Dilexi Te (October 2025), a 20,000-word document reaffirming gospel teachings on human dignity and mercy.
- He's also made some pop culture headlines.
- In June, Pope Leo stepped out into St Peter's Square wearing a Chicago White Sox baseball cap.
- Yesterday, a visitor to the Vatican yelled "Go Cubs!" from the crowd as Pope Leo drove by, and he clapped back "They lost!"
- Prediction markets (particularly Polymarket) have been in a news a lot in recent weeks as the ICE invested $2bln on a $9bln valuation, and Polymarket moves to expand into the US market for the first time.
