Hey, good morning, and history was made with the Catholic
Church electing the first American Pope, Pope Leo the fourteenth.
He's he's a Florida man residing in Charlotte County early okay, which,
of course the internet went nuts with memes yesterday upon
the news because he's from Chicago. So a lot of
(00:46):
different stuff on there, you know, from what is that
the uh the Chicago Pope Tuesdays on NBC, A lot
of people joking about the body and Blood of Christ
will now be deep dish pizza and milort and yeah.

The war, That's all you got to say, right if
you know you know.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Which Pope Lea the fourteenth is the first American pope
in the church's history. The new Pope was born Robert
Francis Previst at Mercy Hospital on the South side of
Chicago back in nineteen fifty five. He'll be turning seventy
this September, and he grew up in a nearby suburb
of Dalton near the Indiana border.
Speaker 1 (01:24):

His mom was a librarian and his dad was in
the Navy and fought in World War Two.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Okay, so I'm not I'm not Catholic, but so how
does Leo cup But how does the Leo name come in?
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Good question? Crash.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
So when it comes to the names, popes get to choose,
all right, and there's no like official criteria that they
need to follow for it, right, It's something they can choose.
So a lot of times, you know, it can be
off of somebody that's they've taken inspiration from. Maybe it's
somebody that made them a cardinal or you know, et cetera,
et cetera. Maybe it's you know, another pope, you know,
(01:58):
for instance, the very first just one Popelio, the first
he was famous for meeting with Attila the Hunt and
dissuading him from attacking Rome.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
So some people speculize.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Maybe he'll be standing up to him, you know, political forces, things.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Of that nature. Okay, I got it, you know.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
But here's the thing. Not every pope in history has
changed their name. We don't always have to. At a
two hundred and sixty six popes before Popelio the fourteenth,
only one hundred and twenty nine have chosen new names.

good stuff. I like, how you know, individual the individual treatment,
individual teaching. I just see some writing on the wall
that I'm not sure of. And as an educator, if
you're listening and you probably have the same questions on this,
will there be a point where this is just the
(03:28):
standard for everybody?
Speaker 3 (03:30):
And who knows? Yeah, who knows. I mean it's possible
the way things are going, but I don't know. We'll
see how this takes off. They say that there are
no teachers delivering traditional lectures, but they're still there. They're
more so motivators, educations educators. They're serving as motivators, guiding
students as they go through an individualized curriculum that's tailored
to them.
