Pope Leo XIV to address young Chicagoans via video at Rate Field event

Pope Leo XIV will address the crowd via video at a mass celebrating his ascent to the papacy that will be held at Chicago's Rate Field next month.

According to the Archdiocese of Chicago, the pope will address “the young people of the world” via a video message that will be broadcast for the first time at a massive event being held at the ballpark on Saturday, June 14.

The event, called “Chicago Celebrates Pope Leo XIV,” will feature a Catholic mass and other programming, according to officials.

According to the Archdiocese of Chicago, gates will open at the ballpark at 12:30 p.m. on June 14, with the program getting underway at 2:30 p.m. That will be followed by a 4 p.m. mass, according to officials.

2. Hey, I just Copy-Pasted It

From an article. Don't blame me.

[mopinko]

3. i wasnt.

just felt compelled. sorry.

[tritsofme]

15. Minor correction to minor correction, they changed the name at the start of 2025.

“Rate Field” it is!

[mopinko]

20. ah. okay.

1 of the great joys of my post divorce life is i dont have to pay any attention to any kind of sport. i missed that they changed it. it’s still a stupid name, but it was even dumber.
the ex was a lifelong sox fan, and i enjoyed the many games we went to, esp in 05. but i dont miss it at.all. it took a while for it to b the cell. it was new comisky for us for a couple yrs.

32. So that's why I never heard of Rate Field!

Any idea why they changed the name to that?

If I was a White Sox fan, I don't think I'd be happy with that. Maybs it's just me, but I think Rate Field sounds pretty blah and nondescript.

[tritsofme]

36. The (mortgage) company that has the naming rights, dropped "rate" from its name.

That building has had terrible corporate naming rights for over 25 years. Sox fans have enough to worry about! lol

[ShazzieB]

37. I figured it was probably something like that.

I have very mixed feelings about random companies being able to buy the naming routes to sports arenas and other venues, but that ship sailed a long time ago, and here we are.

4. Not a Catholic, but

I appreciate that!

Maybe we can get a Live Aid type concert going that date as well.

Does anyone have Bono's phone number?

[ananda]

5. Wow! I can imagine what Trump's tweet on this will look like.

But I certainly hope it gives him a brain explosion.

[Iggo]

6. A pope who trolls trump is pretty okay, I guess.

[True Blue American]

33. And plays a mean guitar!

Brilliant and talented! What more could you want?
Not a Catholic but will enjoy listening to Pope Leo!🙏☝️🌈

7. K&R nt

[Scrivener7]

8. This should be aired in every city! Come on Dolan! Rent out Yankee Stadium!

As if. Sadly, that guy lives somewhere in trump's colon.

But nice move by the new guy.

[Paladin]

9. Thank you, Pope Leo. (nt)

[orangecrush]

10. ...

[et tu]

11. pope bobbie baby

thank you!!!!

[Sogo]

12. Lapsed Catholic, here, who hasn't attended Mass in years, but

may have to tune into this. If for no other reason than to up the ratings....

It would be great if the Pope had higher ratings than TSF!

[ChazInAz]

21. Same, here!

[wryter2000]

22. Good idea

The Catholic mass is almost identical to our Episcopal mass, so I’ll enjoy it. Plus, I love the funny hats.

[Dulcinea]

29. This lapsed Catholic may just do the same!

I go to church when I visit my mother (she's 82) because it means a lot to her.

[BonnieJW]

13. This is amazing!!!!!!!

The idea for Bono is great too. Think about as many celebrities as possible giving concerts that day. No protests, just everyone saying "Anything and anyone is better than you. We can't be bothered with your Kim Jong Un cosplay because you're an ass and we have better things to do."

[TomSlick]

14. The Pope is also counter-programming against the No Kings protests.

Every silver lining has its dark cloud.

[pnwmom]

24. Those protests aren't run by malignant narcissists who will be furious with the Pope for upstaging them.

I bet they'll welcome him.

[TomSlick]

31. True but a conflict is a conflict.

I suspect that MAGAts planning to go to the parade in DC will skip the Pope and go to the parade. I hope the same is true of the No Kings protests.

[sagetea]

39. true

but we can make sure krasnov's parade comes in 3rd place with ratings!

16. This anti-Catholic Feminist loves it.

[Brother Buzz]

17. Way cool! - Pope Leo's Chicago brother (infinitely better than his Florida brother) never thought he'd make it to Chicago

[AKwannabe]

18. No one should "celebrate" a Pope

That person is a servant of the word of Christ - not anything else.

FFS

[summer_in_TX]

23. I celebrate

That the Word will be spoken and that the Anti-Christ will not be the only thing lifted up.

May God bless and use Pope Leo to speak truth and love, faithfully showing Christ to the world. May false claims about who Jesus is be exposed as the lies they are.

[pnwmom]

25. Party pooper. I am someone and I will joyfully celebrate him for drawing major attention from the orange guy. nt

[surfered]

19. It's on: Christ vs the Anti-Christ Celebrity Death Match

[Deep State Witch]

26. My Bet is on the Pope

He's from the South Side of Chicago. As Jim Croce would sing, "the baddest part of town."

[Alice Kramden]

27. LOL

Too true

[Cha]

30. So True..
