Louis Prevost was watching NEWSMAX when history hit his family. The Florida man saw his little brother Robert — now Pope Leo XIV — become the first American pontiff. “I nearly fell off my recliner,” Louis said, describing the humble moment God chose a kid from blue-collar Illinois to lead the Catholic Church.
The Pope’s brother grew up scrapping with Robert in their South Chicago home. Louis joked about throwing the future holy father down stairs as boys. But he always knew Robert was different — the kind of kid who played “priest” with an ironing board altar while other boys roughhoused.
This pope comes from real American stock. The Prevost brothers drank cheap beer, cheered the White Sox, and learned faith from parents who worked hard and prayed harder. Louis says that Midwest grit makes Leo XIV relatable — a leader who understands truck drivers better than ivory-tower elites.
While the new pope pushes Church tradition, his brother keeps it real. Louis proudly shares Trump memes and slams weak-kneed politicians. “Nancy Pelosi’s a disgrace,” he told friends online last year. Real Catholics don’t let liberals hijack their faith.
The brothers disagree on politics but agree on truth. Louis says the media hate that his pope brother won’t push their woke garbage. Pope Leo XIV respects life, family, and freedom — the stuff that made America great.
Louis credits their mom’s meatloaf Sundays for keeping the family grounded. “We didn’t have much, but we had values,” he said. That’s why Pope Leo XIV gets it — he knows faith isn’t about fancy words but showing up for your neighbor.
The globalists are sweating. This pope didn’t come up through some fancy European seminary. He came from steel mills and sidewalk stickball. When Pope Leo XIV talks about suffering, he remembers his dad’s calloused hands.
America finally has a pope who puts God first and politics last. Louis says his brother’s story proves ordinary Americans can do extraordinary things. As the Left freaks out, real patriots are tuning into NEWSMAX — the network that broke the story — to hear common sense winning for once.
