The Pope Next Door
- Robert Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, recently became the head of the global Catholic Church based in Chicago and was the focus of a viral fake video.
- This event follows decades after Prevost was an ordinary Chicagoan, and his elevation parallels national milestones like JFK's 1960 election.
- Alongside fanfare and memorabilia like a Topps card and a Portillo's sandwich named for him, discourse includes his popular culture ties and personal quirks.
- David Gibson noted American culture rejects monarchy yet fixates on leaders 'set above and apart,' warning that familiarity with the pope may breed disobedience.
- Prevost's rise signals new connections between Catholicism and American identity, suggesting the church faces balancing tradition with contemporary expectations.
