In this historic episode of The Catholic Couple Podcast, we dive into the groundbreaking election of Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope, and explore what this could mean for the future of the Church. We unpack the significance of his name choice and the powerful connections to Pope Leo XIII, a champion of social teaching and Catholic renewal.

We also share our personal excitement and hometown pride—Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, is from Dolton, IL, literally the next town over from where we both grew up on the South Side of Chicago! We reflect on what his local roots and pastoral heart might bring to his new role and our hope that his papacy becomes one of unity, healing, and bold leadership in a divided world.

Join us for a candid, faith-filled conversation about what this moment means for the global Church and for everyday Catholics like us.
