Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has announced he's going to Rome to meet Pope Leo XIV -- and he's bringing with him an unexpected gift, the mayor told NBC 5 in an interview Wednesday.

Affectionately known as "Da Pope," the meeting, set for May 28, will mark Johnson's first visit with the Chicago's own pontiff, a noted Sox fan and native of a southern suburb. Johnson will travel to Rome from May 26-30, he said.
