Louis Prevost couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw his little brother’s face flash across the Newsmax screen. The Florida retiree had been glued to the conservative news network as cardinals gathered in Rome, but even he was shocked when Robert Prevost became the first American pope. “I nearly fell off my La-Z-Boy,” Louis told Ed Henry on Sunday Agenda. “Last time I checked, Americans don’t get picked for that job!”
The brothers grew up in a blue-collar Chicago suburb where they learned the value of faith and hard work. While young Robert played “priest” with Necco wafers, Louis preferred cops and robbers. Their mom’s ironing board doubled as an altar during Robert’s make-believe Masses. “We knew he was special,” Louis admitted, “but pope? That’s God having a sense of humor.”
Newsmax blared the historic announcement as Louis sat surrounded by MAGA memorabilia in his Florida home. The Pope’s brother didn’t hide his conservative views, calling liberal politicians “godless” and praising Trump’s America-first policies. When asked about Nancy Pelosi, he smirked: “Some people’s mouths need holy water.”
While Pope Leo XIV preaches unity, his brother fights culture wars online. Louis’ Facebook feed mixes papal news with memes mocking “woke” Democrats. “My brother’s too nice to say it,” he growled, “but this country’s going to hell if we don’t stand up for traditional values.”
The new pontiff’s modest roots resonate with heartland conservatives. Louis described their childhood home where “you could hear the White Sox game from the porch.” He laughed recalling young Robert’s obsession with baseball stats: “Now he’s keeping track of souls instead of RBIs.”
Critics claim the Pope’s family ties could divide the Church. Louis fired back: “Real Christians don’t care about politics – they care about salvation.” He warned media elites to stop “attacking faithful Americans just because we love our country and our God.”
As the interview closed, Louis teared up remembering their parents. “Mom’s rolling in her grave – in a good way,” he chuckled. “Four years of seminary? Fine. But an American pope? That’s her miracle.”
The Prevost brothers now walk different paths – one in papal white, the other in Trump red. But both agree on what matters most. “Faith, family, freedom,” Louis declared. “That’s the American trifecta they’ll never cancel.”
