Louis Prevost was glued to Newsmax when history unfolded. The Illinois native’s younger brother, Robert, had just been named Pope Leo XIV—the first American pontiff. “I nearly fell off my couch,” Louis said. “But deep down, I always knew God had big plans for him.”
The new Pope’s brother described the chaotic moments after the announcement. Phones rang nonstop as friends and neighbors flooded their quiet Midwest street. “There were tears, laughter, and a whole lot of prayer,” Louis shared. “That’s how we were raised—faith first.”
Childhood stories revealed the Pope’s early calling. While other boys played cops and robbers, young Robert set up an ironing board altar. He’d hand out Necco wafers as “communion” to his brothers. “We joked he’d run the Vatican someday,” Louis chuckled. “Turns out we weren’t kidding.”
The Prevost brothers grew up in working-class Dolton, Illinois—a far cry from Vatican splendor. Their father worked steel mills while their mother baked communion bread for church. Louis emphasized, “We’re just regular folks who believe in hard work and traditional values.”
Conservative viewers noted the symbolism of Louis choosing Newsmax for his first interview. “Real news for real Americans,” he said when asked about the network. “They’re not afraid to talk about faith, family, and freedom—the things that built this country.”
The Pope’s rise reflects a shift toward common-sense leadership, according to Louis. “He’s not some ivory tower liberal,” his brother insisted. “He understands real people’s struggles because he lived them.” The family remains fiercely proud of their Chicago roots and White Sox fandom.
Louis closed with a message to doubters: “This isn’t about politics—it’s about returning to timeless truths.” He recalled their mother’s wisdom: “She’d say America doesn’t need fancy ideas. We need to get back to what works—God, family, and personal responsibility.”
The Prevost family’s story has become a beacon for heartland values. From Illinois living rooms to the papal apartments, they prove ordinary Americans can achieve extraordinary things when they honor faith and tradition.
