2. I love that the Pope is wearing a Sox hat and gathering at Sox Park.

Sox Park is in the heart of the city in a more diverse community.

When he was first selected, his brother talked about the Pope’s upbringing in Chicago and when asked whether the Pope was a Sox or a Cubs fan his brother clearly said he was a Sox fan.

However, the newz – – purposely in my opinion – – ignored what his brother said, and reported that he was a Cubs fan. This may not seem like a big deal, but it is actually. It’s political. The Cubs fan base is more right wing and less diverse.

So by wearing the Sox cap, he is making it totally clear where his loyalties lie.
