Archbishop Blase Cupich, who will be elevated to cardinal in November, has a special blessing for the Chicago Cubs, The Chicago Sun-Times Michael Sneed reports.

“Hey, I’m storming heaven on their behalf,” Cupich told Sneed.

Cupich also reportedly said to the Ricketts family, who own the Cubs, that he’s “pulling” for them.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who will attend Cupich’s elevation ceremony in Rome, saw the archbishop at Wrigley Field, NBC 5 reported last Friday, only hours before Cupich learned he would be named cardinal. Later, the mayor called to congratulate him. Emanuel told NBC 5 “he was sitting a couple seats ahead of me at Wrigley, and I said – I just happen to say congratulations, he thought I knew, that’s how he thought of it Sunday morning, no I was just saying congratulations.”

Sneed reports that Cupich even has a Cubs cap—in addition to a yarmulke decked out with the North Side team’s logo given to him by a rabbi that he’s considering giving to the pope while in Rome.
