The president of Villanova University shared that he had asked the new pope, a ’77 Villanova grad, if he’d come back to speak at commencement.
It sounds as if we won’t be seeing the “Villanova Pope” anytime soon.
It’s been a little over 24 hours since the shocking news that the Catholic Conclave selected Robert Francis Prevost as the first-ever American Pope. A Chicago native, Prevost graduated from Villanova University in 1977, and soon after went on the seminary.
After decades mostly spent abroad, he was serving in Rome when Pope Francis died several weeks ago.
