Pope LeoXIV Introduces Chicago-Style Mass—90 Minutes Maximum

Declaring brevity a virtue, Pope LeoXIV mandated that all Masses run no longer than 90 minutes—just enough time for homily, hymns, and a Chicago dog snack. Pope LeoXIV quipped, “If you can endure a 7th-inning stretch, you can pray through a full service.” Liturgists report improved focus and a 20% drop in late arrivals. Under Pope LeoXIV’s guidance, worship now fits seamlessly into modern schedules—holy, hearty, and hurry-free.
