Tickets on sale for Pope Leo XIV mass celebration hosted by White Sox at Rate Field
The pope, a lifelong White Sox fan and South Side native, will offer a special video message to the young people of the world at the event, with the Chicago faithful being the first to see it, the archdiocese said.
There will also be celebration, prayer and music and Cardinal Blase Cupich will be in attendance.
Gates open at 12:30 p.m., the program begins at 2:30 p.m. and the mass begins at 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 14.
Tickets are $5 and on sale now through Ticketmaster.
When Leo was first named pope, a brief debate broke out between the Cubs and the Sox over which team could claim the pontiff for their own, but his brother, John Prevost, was quick to set the record straight.
"He's Sox, and then the radio announced Cubs, and that's not true," John Prevost told CBS News Chicago, adding that the new pope has been a White Sox fan "as long as I've known him."
The White Sox also recently installed art to mark the seat where Pope Leo sat during Game 1 of the 2005 World Series.

Woman Says Her Mother-in-Law Is 'Ruining' Her New Home by Moving in Just Months After She Got Married
"At this point it's taking away from our life and a chance to start a potential family," she writes on RedditNEED TO KNOW A newly-married woman says her mother-in-law is "ruining" her home and marriage after moving in with her and her husband In a post on Reddit, the woman writes about her husband's mother's "hoarding" tendencies Now, she is at a crossroads about whether to continue her marriageA 23-year-old woman says her mother-in-law is "ruining" her home — and her marriage — after moving in with her and her husband. In a post published on Reddit, the woman writes that she and her husband have only been married for a few months and had just moved into a new home when he invited his mother to move in with them. "At this point it's taking away from our life and a chance to start a potential family," she writes, adding that her husband was raised solely by his mom and the two are very close. The woman writes that their home is a four-bedroom, with two rooms upstairs and two rooms downstairs. "We agreed to give MIL the downstairs rooms and the patio. So she has two rooms, then upstairs it's our kitchen, living room, then me and my husband's room and my husband's office," she writes. "I thought [we would] at least we will have our own level basically. I was wrong." She continues: "When we moved in, husband refused to buy much furniture being that MIL has a bunch of belongings, like almost hoarder level. The entire kitchen is full of her many Knick knacks and every possible type of dish/container you can think of... she has her items in almost every single space in the home, including my husband's office, despite her having two bedrooms downstairs and a big patio." The woman adds that her mother-in-law often uses her and her husband's balcony, rather than her own patio, which is twice the size. To make matters worse, the mother-in-law has now asked her long-term boyfriend to move in, too. "I just don't know how I'm going to go on in this relationship for long-term if this keeps happening," she writes. "We've been trying for a baby and at this point before that even happens I need to make sure that she's going to eventually leave and get her own place."

Other Reddit users are offering advice in the comments, with one writing: "If this is how he is during the honeymoon phase it will only get worse the more 'tied' to him you become. I'd go back to my parents house and stay there until he pulls his head out or you find a good lawyer for divorce/annulment." Adds another Reddit commenter: "Oh honey, you are just a baby. You are way too young to be dealing with crap like this. You need to leave, like yesterday." Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

Steelers vs Jaguars: 4 storylines in this week's preseason game
After what has been one of the wildest offseasons ever for the Pittsburgh Steelers, it is almost time to finally kick off the preseason schedule. This Saturday, the Steelers will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road, and here are the storylines to keep an eye on. Is the defense really this good? At the midway point of training camp, the defense has dominated the offense at practice. We expected that unit to have an edge but it's been really one-sided. This week, we will get to see the defense in live action against a Jaguars offense full of talent so we will get a better idea of just how good this group can be. Is the offense really this bad? On the flipside of the first storyline, how rough is the offense going to look? This group has been outclassed throughout training camp and it looks like all these new players in new places are struggling to gel. How much Aaron Rodgers? Head coach Mike Tomlin rarely has his starting quarterback play much in the first preseason game but it feels like Aaron Rodgers in an exception this year given how late he joined the team. Lots of rookies to watch The Steelers rookies should be on full display on Saturday night. Defensive tackle Derrick Harmon and running back Kaleb Johnson won't see heavy work since their spots are locked in but we want to see edge defense Jack Sawyer, defensive tackle Yahya Black and quarterback Will Howard ball out. This is in addition to undrafted rookies Roc Taylor and Sebastian Castro. This article originally appeared on Steelers Wire: Steelers vs Jaguars: 4 storylines in this week's preseason game

Sports analyst rips Bronny James for no-showing Luka Dončić's Lakers press conference
Sports analyst rips Bronny James for no-showing Luka Dončić's Lakers press conference originally appeared on The Sporting News Luka Dončić wasted no time in extending his deal with the Los Angeles Lakers. The two sides agreed to a three-year, $165 million contract extension on Aug. 2, the first day he was eligible to sign a new deal. While most of his teammates were present for his press conference and a trip to Las Vegas to attend a Backstreet Boys later in the day, LeBron James and Bronny James were among those noticeably absent. Dan Patrick believes that the four-time MVP deserves a pass for not showing up, however, he took aim at the second-year guard's decision to not join his teammates. "The one person who I thought should've been there was his son," Dan Patrick stated Monday. "Bronny James, if he wants to stay longer after LeBron leaves, that's your teammate. That's what was surprising. Bronny James should've been there. You're the last guy on the roster, you should be there. Show support." Follow The Sporting News on WhatsApp "It just felt like, 'Hey, my dad's LeBron, we got a vacation'," Patrick continued. "I mean, that's where you say, 'Dad, that's my team, that's my teammate'. And if LeBron doesn't want to be there -- it just feels like there's a game going on." Despite speculation that James could leave Los Angeles, Patrick speculated that he has no plans to join a new team. While the NBA's all-time leading scorer has certainly earned the right to enjoy his summer vacation, it is not difficult to agree with the assessment that his son should be looking to build camaraderie with his teammates. After all, the Lakers are clearly Dončić's team now as James may only have one or two years left in his illustrious career. The younger James should be looking for any opportunity to step out of his father's footsteps and build his own relationship with the remainder of the roster -- particularly the Lakers' newest franchise star.
