Holy pop! According to a new deep dive published by The New York Times, the newly named Pope Leo XIV is related to two of pop music's biggest names: Madonna and Justin Bieber. In assembling a detailed family tree for the Chicago-born religious leader - who was elected the new head of the Catholic Church in May following the death of Pope Francis - the publication found that Leo is distantly linked to the two singers through a shared ancestor born about six generations back.

There's a mural of Pope Leo XIV at the White Sox's park, near where he sat for Game 1 of the 2005 World Series. Yeah, the Chicago native once known as Father Bob is a fan.
