Louis Prevost was glued to Newsmax when he learned his younger brother became Pope Leo XIV. The Florida resident laughed recalling childhood days throwing his sibling down stairs, never imagining that kid would lead the Catholic Church. “Typical American story,” he told Ed Henry. “A Chicago altar boy makes history.”
The Pope’s brother revealed stark differences between them. While Leo pushes global unity, Louis proudly shares MAGA memes criticizing “open borders” and “woke nonsense.” He joked about sending his pontiff brother Trump campaign merch, calling it “family banter between patriots.” Their parents’ Midwestern values shaped both men, but took different paths.
Louis described watching the papal announcement through tears, remembering their immigrant grandfather’s dreams. “Mom’s lasagna recipe did more for world peace than UN summits,” he quipped. When asked about critics calling Leo too moderate, Louis fired back: “Real faith doesn’t bow to political correctness.”
The brothers’ clash on immigration surfaced when Louis shared a viral video mocking Nancy Pelosi – a move he defends as “holding leaders accountable.” While the Pope preaches compassion, Louis insists “true compassion means secure borders.” Their weekly calls reportedly mix scripture debates and White Sox scores.
Louis credits their blue-collar upbringing for keeping the Pope grounded. “He still changes his own oil,” he claimed, painting Leo as a working-class hero against Vatican elites. This folksy image plays well with conservatives tired of “coastal snobs dictating values.”
When pressed about his controversial social media posts, Louis doubled down: “I’ll never apologize for loving America.” He framed his brother’s rise as divine proof that “faith beats globalist agendas every time.” The interview closed with Louis urging viewers to “buy American, pray daily, and trust Trump’s comeback.”
