Since May 8, when Cardinal Robert Prevost (bottom photo) became Pope Leo XIV – the World leader of the Catholic Church and the first American-born pope in history, Saugus Town Counsel John J. Vasapolli (top photo) has been deluged with comments about how he looks a lot like the new pope. “When I go over to the Hammersmith, they call me ‘Pope John.’ I’ve gotten emails from cousins, neighbors and classmates who tell me I look like Pope Leo. I even got a text from a judge,” Vasapolli told The Saugus Advocate this week. On his Facebook Page, John J.
