Pope hats and glimmers of grace at a White Sox game

Pope Leo XIV attended a Chicago White Sox game on August 11 despite severe weather in the Chicagoland area.

The local NBC 5 weather team reported that dark clouds and an algae-green sky preceded heavy rain and tornado sirens in the region. The storms caused uprooted trees in dozens of communities, though crews began working to clear the damage by 11 a.m. that morning.
