Local parishioners celebrate new pope
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — There were warm smiles and greetings around Western New York as parishioners went to Mass on Thursday to celebrate the election of Pope Leo XIV — the first American pope in history. Parishioners at The Saint Jude Center on Ellicott Street and The Buffalo Irish Center on Abbott Road were excited, describing Thursday's news as 'wonderful.' The naming of any pope would have been a welcome sight, they said, but the naming of the first American pope in history makes it even more special. It's a background that many hope he will use to understand the struggles that churches face in the United States — especially here in Buffalo. 'I hope that he'll change a lot of the parishes closing, a lot of the schools closing,' said parishioner Ellen Jones. '(Hopefully) we'll go back to where we were 20 years ago where we can go to the churches where we want to go.' 'I took pictures of him on my phone — I got his blessing,' said parishioner Bertha Hyde. 'But I'm glad. I'm glad it's an American — the first time ever. Maybe something will happen, something good. Maybe he can save all our churches.' Parishioners added that this is a time of celebration and prayer for Pope Leo XIV, hoping that he can bring the church together into the future.

Inside the Gen Z housewife wars: can you ever be a feminist and house proud?
Some Gen Z women, like 28-year-old freelancer Ellen Jones, are wary of the ways housework is being presented to women online. 'I have no problem with people who are very proud of their home and doing domestic work, but I think when the identity of women becomes completely intertwined with their ability to keep a home, it really irks me. It also devalues the work done by women who will often say I'm 'just a housewife' as though that isn't considered work.'
