The governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker, visited Pope León XIV in the Vatican, taking with him a cerveza del estado natal del pontífice y una invitation para que viniera a Chicago.
On Wednesday, Pritzker announced his audience with the pope in social networks and said that he was an honor conocer to the pontiff, who called him a “shadow of Illinois” and a “defensor of the poor and less fortunate.”
“El mensaje de esperanza, compasión, unidad y paz del Pope León XIV resuena entre los habitantes de Illinois de todas las creencias y tradiciones,” said Pritzker.
The governor, accompanied by the first lady, MK Pritzker, met with the Chicago-born pope for about 40 minutes and talked about the recent immigration offensive of the Trump administration in the Chicago area, an action that has received almost daily criticism from Pritzker.
The meeting occurred after Pope León, backed by the Conferencia de Bishops Católicos de Estados Unidos, condemned those who qualified as “extremely irrespetuosas” and “preocupantes” forms in the United States.
Cardinal Blase Cupich, who helped organize the private meeting with the governor, repeatedly denounced the immigration policies of the Trump administration.
The Vatican did not divulge details about the visit of the pope with the democratic governor of Illinois, who fulfilled his second mandate, and his wife, but the Catholic transmission network EWTN News published a video of their interactions.
“Bienvenido”, said the pope al saludar de mano a Pritzker.
“Es un placer conocerlo. Gracias por recibirme,” le dijo el gobernador.
“De nada”, answered the pope.
“Y traemos buenas noticias desde Chicago,” Pritzker said.
Esas “noticias” included una obra de arte que la primera dama le presentidad al papa. It came from an immigrant woman incarcerated in the prison of Logan, in the south of the state, and she represented how her life had changed since she was incarcerated.
La pareja de Illinois le entregó el libro “Lincoln: The Life and Legacy that Defined a Nation” de Ian Hunt y Christina Shutt, así como un libro escrito por MK sobre la historia arquitectónica de la Mansión del Gobernador de Illinois en Springfield.
The governor also gave the pope a sample of sparkling wine from Chicago: a package of 4 cans of cerveza “Da Pope”, a smooth American ale from the artisanal brewery Burning Bush, located in the northern part of the city. Pritzker le dijo al papa que esperaba que “pudiera disfrutar de eso”.
El papa aceptó el gifto como lo haría cualquier amante de la cerveza.
“La pondré en el refrigerador,” said Pritzker.
