Pope Leo’s Roots: Sicilian, Creole & More!

Did you know the new Pope Leo XIV’s family tree is a wild ride through the US melting pot? His grandpa came from Sicily, changed his name, and settled in Chicago. On his mom’s side, there’s Creole and Caribbean heritage, with family who switched racial identities to survive in the US South. Now, Leo’s using his own immigrant story to call for dignity for all migrants—maybe even throwing shade at Trump’s immigration crackdowns. Talk about a full-circle moment! #PopeLeoXIV #ImmigrantRoots #FamilyHistory #CatholicChurch #MeltingPot #Culture
