Just before Pope Francis departed the Vatican for his Cuba/U.S. trip, he picked a metro-Detroit bred astronomer, Jesuit Brother Guy Consolmagno, to lead the Catholic Church's study of the heavens as director of the Vatican Observatory.
On Friday, when the appointment was announced, Francis lunched at the Vatican with Consolmagno, who graduated from University of Detroit Jesuit High School and Beverly Hills' Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Elementary school.
