Will Pope Leo Name Baseball's First Patron Saint?

Could the Church finally name a patron saint for baseball? Pope Leo XIV, a devoted White Sox fan, might be the man to do it—and Blessed Michael McGivney, founder of the Knights of Columbus and an early baseball standout, is a top candidate. We explore McGivney’s deep ties to the sport, from seminary box scores to charitable Little League fields, and what it would take to canonize him. Plus, the linguistic misfire that nearly sparked a medieval schism—and what it means for Pope Leo today.Get the show without ads. Five bucks.
