Pope Leo XIV‘s hometown plans to acquire his childhood home in Chicago and turn it into a historic site that will be free to the public. The village of Dolton said they will work with the Chicago Archdiocese to preserve the pope’s brick home that he and his family lived in for almost 50 years.

Jazz fans may be disappointed to learn that newly elected Pope Leo XIV never moonlighted as trombone player "Bobby Prev" in his hometown of Chicago, contrary to social media posts sharing a supposed image of him playing the instrument.
