What happens when the Pope isn’t just in Rome, but from your own backyard? In this segment, Bishop Louis Tylka of Peoria shares his reflections after the Papal Mass at the White Sox stadium. Once a priest in Chicago, now a bishop, he speaks about the joy, energy, and blessing of celebrating faith together and the closeness Catholics feel knowing Pope Leo XIV is one of their own. From imagining papal names to joking about the first Pope on the moon, this candid conversation blends humor with heartfelt truth: the Pope may live in the Vatican, but his roots in Chicago bring a sense of family, affection, and unity that the Church needs today. ✨ “Because he is from here, there’s a closeness we feel… and that grows into affection.” — Bishop Louis Tylka

Should Catholics Use Social Media?
While some people say that technology doesn’t work well with our mission as Catholics, we believe that like any other saint or any person who lives a religious life, we can always use the tools available to us in our time, to evangelize. In our modern time, we are so blessed to have these tools that connects us in a way the we’ve never been connected before. Whatever medium or social media platform we use, we are always called to be the light of Christ in our day-to-day life. Whatever our job or our vocation is, social media is a way for us to easily share our faith with others and connect in a more intimate way with other Catholics. Meanwhile, it’s also always exciting to see the way that different Catholics all across the globe have answered that call, to bring the beauty and the truth to the platform.
