White Smoke for a White Sox Fan?

In this episode of The Non-Prophets, the panel reacts to the election of Pope Leo XIV—the first American pope—and what his leadership might mean for the Catholic Church. While some see the appointment of Robert Francis Prevost as a possible attempt at modernization, others remain skeptical. The team discusses the Pope’s political views, possible reform efforts, and the Catholic Church’s long, global history of corruption and harm. Is this new pope a sign of change—or just another face for an unchanging institution?
