Pope Leo XIV is distantly related to pop star Madonna, as well as to Hillary Clinton, Justin Bieber, and Justin Trudeau, as new research shows. The results come from genealogist Henry Louis Gates Jr., who reported on the family connections in The New York Times. Pope Leo XIV's ancestry is mostly Creole, with deep roots in New Orleans, but he also has French, Spanish, and Italian heritage. Some of the Pope's French ancestors migrated to Quebec in the 1650s before settling in Louisiana. The common ancestor, Louis Boucher de Grandpre, connects the Pope to many North American personalities, including Madonna. Madonna's connection to Pope Leo comes three years after she requested to meet with Pope Francis over her alleged excommunications from the Catholic Church. The Vatican had previously condemned Madonna's 1989 video 'Like a Prayer,' prompting Pope John Paul II to call for a boycott of her music.
