Trying To Do A Pope Leo Trivia But This Cubs Fan Had To Go!
Ever had to kick out a Cubs fan out of Sox Park? Yeah, that actually happened. It was a historic day, Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope, was being honored with a special Mass at Sox Park. Chicago Catholics came out in full force, and so did one very bold Cubs fan. Naturally, I had to intervene. But it actually didn’t stop there. What happened next is we handed out free swag, grilled people on Pope Leo trivia, and turned the pre-Mass crowd into a full-on gameshow. From Dominican mix-ups to Room of Tears plot twists, this was not your typical Sunday at the ballpark. And as a South Sider, seeing Sox Park packed for Mass, with the Pope’s name echoing in the stands, was something I’ll never forget. Moments in this video include: Warning a Cubs fan at the gate (out of love, obviously) Trivia with Sisters, strangers, and Chicago cops Goofy guesses, deep-cut Catholic questions, and free T-shirts A joyful celebration of Pope Leo XIV—Chicago’s own 🙏 This video’s part faith, part fun, and 100% Chicago.

This Quiet Love
“Being in love first moved them to promise fidelity. This quieter love enables them to keep the promise.” These words by C.S. Lewis inspired our short film “This Quiet Love”, an alternate take on the cliché characterization of love on Valentine’s Day. You won’t find any heart-shaped boxes of candy or Hallmark cards here, only the true and enduring love between two people in the most mundane of ways in everyday life. Be faithful, generous, and thoughtful to those you love, no matter the date on the calendar.
