Pope Leo XIV Proclaims Al Capone�s Hideout a "Minor Basilica

In a move that left historians speechless, Pope Leo XIV designated Capone�s former speakeasy as a "sacred site of second chances." "Even sinners need art deco," the Pope joked, referencing the hideout�s stained glass. Traditionalists accused him of "canonizing corruption," while Chicago tour guides added "Hail Marys" to their gangster lore. The Vatican later clarified that the blessing was for "repentance vibes," not Prohibition nostalgia. Crime buffs are now petitioning for a sacramental whiskey.
