Mayor Johnson suggests Chicago landmark to honor Pope Leo XIV after Vatican meeting
By
Alice Yin
Crisp on the outside, thoughtful on the inside. A keeper.
Summary
Mayor Brandon Johnson, fresh from a Vatican summit with Pope Leo XIV, suggested that Chicago should honor the first American pope with a street name or landmark. In an interview with the Tribune, Johnson called it an honor to have the world's most recognizable religious leader hail from Chicago, though he stopped short of committing to a specific type of recognition.
