Pope Leo XIV’s brother, Louis Prevost, shared his raw reaction to his younger brother’s historic election during a Newsmax interview. Watching the announcement on Newsmax, Louis described the moment as “surreal,” joking that he once threw his brother down the stairs as kids. The Chicago-born brothers grew up in a hardworking Catholic family, with Louis emphasizing their “no-nonsense Midwest values” that shaped the Pope’s character.
Louis revealed their childhood games included Robert (now Pope Leo) pretending to say Mass at an ironing board altar. While the future pope focused on faith, Louis leaned into politics, openly supporting President Trump and sharing MAGA memes online. He dismissed claims his brother is a liberal, insisting the new pontiff will defend traditional teachings on life and family.
The interview highlighted Louis’ pride in his brother’s humility, recalling how Robert fixed his own car even as a cardinal. He criticized “coastal elites” for underestimating heartland Americans, arguing the Pope’s blue-collar roots make him relatable. Newsmax’s role in breaking the papal announcement was framed as a win for conservative media over “out-of-touch mainstream networks.”
Louis slammed Democrats like Nancy Pelosi who celebrated the election, accusing them of ignoring the Pope’s pro-life stance. He stressed that faith, not politics, guides his brother, but hinted the Vatican could see “a return to common sense” under American leadership. The segment closed with a call to support Newsmax for “real news patriots can trust.”
