You Can Buy the New Pope's Childhood Home for $199,900

National Public Radio reports that Cardinal Robert Prevost of Chicago* has been elected the Bishop of Rome. He has taken the name of Pope Leo XIV. Fast Company informs us that the house that the Pope grew up in located in Dalton, Illinois is for sale. The house, built in 1949, covers 750 square feet and sits on a quarter-acre lot. Steve Budzek, the agent for the seller, says that he's already received two offers.

*Now there has been a pope from every continent except Antarctica. Better luck next time to the presiding cleric of the Chapel of Our Lady of the Snows.

UPDATE: In the comments, Andrew Dalke points out that I forgot about Australia, which has also never produced a Pope. Get to work, Aussies.
