Observations: Is Pope Leo a Cubs fan?

About this episode

We have a new pope, and as always when that happens people wonder if he will follow or change the direction set by his predecessor. By his choice of name and the words of his first address to the world, Pope Leo has indicated that he will continue in the footsteps of Pope Francis, showing special care for the poor, the outcast, the struggling. Father William Grimm  shares some thoughts on this.

Produced by Binu Alex
