I just like that he was a math major.

He was a substitute science teacher at St. Rita, on the South Side (when we were in 8th grade in Catholic school on the South Side, Rita is one of the high schools that came and pitched to us; Marist and Carmel were the two big draws for boys, McCauley for girls). Can you imagine how weird it would be to have a high school science teacher that went on to become pope?

I dunno, I had plenty of teachers who were monks. Admittedly they didn’t have the LinkedIn grind set to get to pope. Heck our CS teacher in high school was a monk too.
