For the first time in history, the Pope isn’t just from the United States, but from the midwest! Pope Leo XIV hails from Chicago, and this close proximity to Iowa could have an impact. Tom Chapman, Executive Director of The Iowa Catholic Conference discusses Pope Leo’s history, what it means for Iowans, and tackles the big question we all want to know: is Pope Leo going to make a Midwest visit?
Pope Leo XIV has been the center of attention for the last week, and many want to know what kind of Pope he will be. Will he be political, as was Pope Francis, or will he be more reserved? Will he break tradition or keep it? Will he change the Catholic Church or maintain the status quo? These are the questions we tackle, separating fact from fiction.
