Vance presented the new Pope with the special gift during their meeting at the Apostolic Palace on Monday … Leo XIV, a resident of Chicago, with the sweater of his hometown team.
“So this is of course a Chicago Bears sweater,” the VP said the Pope.
“As you can probably imagine, the people of the United States are very enthusiastic about you.”
And it is not just an old sweater from the rack … it has been adjusted! The nameplate is “Pope Leo” … and instead of a song there is a Roman figure, “XIV.”
