Pope Leo XIV will deliver a video "to the young people of the world" during his mass in Chicago next month, the city's archdiocese announced Tuesday.

the ratings could/will be compared. Headline something like: "50% of the country tunes in to Pope's message for American youth; 15% watch POTUS' birthday parade"
