Louis Prevost sat glued to NEWSMAX when history shook his family. The Florida man’s jaw dropped as anchors announced his little brother, Robert, had become Pope Leo XIV — the first American pontiff. “Shock and awe,” Louis told reporters, his voice cracking with pride.
Growing up in blue-collar Dolton, Illinois, the Prevost boys played cops and robbers — but Robert always chose priest. He turned ironing boards into altars and passed out Necco wafers as Communion. “He never doubted his calling,” Louis recalled. “God grabbed him young.”
Just days before the Vatican vote, Louis pressed his brother: “What if they pick you?” The humble cardinal shrugged it off — “They’d never choose an American!” But when the white smoke rose, Robert embraced divine duty. “It’s God’s will,” he’d told Louis. “His hands hold this.”
Now the pope’s brother wonders if he’ll ever hug “Rob” again. “Will meetings require appointments? Will the Swiss Guard block us?” he mused. Tears welled as he added, “He’s not just ours anymore — he belongs to the world.”
The tight-knit Catholic family clings to faith. Louis chuckles remembering his brother’s White Sox fandom and meat-and-potatoes humility. “No fancy airs — just a regular guy who loves Jesus,” he told NEWSMAX’s Ed Henry.
Critics sneer an American pope might “water down” tradition. Louis fires back: “My brother’s a lion for truth. He’ll defend life, family, and freedom without apology.” The pope’s childhood Bible, he notes, sits dog-eared from daily use.
As liberals rage over the historic election, heartland Catholics cheer. “This proves God still blesses America,” a Chicago butcher told NEWSMAX. The Prevosts’ grit — forged in Midwest steel country — now fuels Christendom’s highest office.
Louis ends with a challenge: “Pray for my brother. The globalists and woke mobs hate him already.” His eyes harden like the Chicago winters they survived. “But Leo won’t back down. He’s got that Prevost spine — and heaven’s army behind him.”
