Former Trump advisor Steve Cortes spotlighted the vacant, decaying St. Mary parish in Dolton, Illinois—where Pope Leo XIV, born Robert Francis Prevost in 1955, served as an altar boy before its 2011 closure due to low attendance. The church, now plagued by broken windows, water damage, and graffiti, sits in a Rust Belt suburb hit hard by deindustrialization, demographic shifts from mostly white to 91% Black, and mismanagement under ex-Mayor Tiffany Henyard, who faced FBI probes for lavish spending. Cortes' documentary drew conservative praise for highlighting policy failures, while critics called it unfair to blame the pope for changes predating his May 2025 election as the first American pontiff.
