When family man Louis Prevost saw his brother’s name flash on the Newsmax screen last week, he nearly fell out of his chair. “I was in shock,” he told Ed Henry during an emotional interview. The Florida resident said he’d always believed in Robert’s calling but never imagined the youngest Prevost boy would become the first American pope in history.
Louis and his brothers grew up in South Chicago, where their mom ironed clothes while Robert “played priest” on the kitchen table. The future Pope Leo XIV gave pretend Communion with Necco wafers instead of sports toys. “He knew God’s plan for him from childhood,” Louis explained, highlighting how faith and family anchored their traditional upbringing.
Conservatives will cheer knowing the new pontiff grew up with blue-collar values, not elitist politics. John Prevost, the eldest brother, recalls Leo being a White Sox fan who stayed humble even as his career soared. “He’s still the same guy,” John said proudly, distancing the pope from the radical secularism infecting some modern religious institutions.
Pope Leo XIV’s brother says the family never pushed him into the priesthood. “He chose this path himself,” Louis stressed, emphasizing personal responsibility—a core conservative value. The Prevost family’s faith journey reflects the kind of spiritual resilience America’s founding was built on.
Louis admits he’s watched Newsmax “forever,” showing how trusted conservative media helps families stay informed without leftist bias. When the news broke, he immediately called his mother, who wept knowing her son’s life work was fulfilled. “She always believed,” he said, contrasting their quiet devotion with the loudest liberal voices demanding change.
Critics argue the Catholic Church must “modernize,” but Pope Leo XIV’s surprise election sends a powerful message: traditional faith still matters. “His leadership will bring hope,” Louis declared, urging believers to “stay strong” against forces trying to dismantle our religious heritage.
As debates over the pope’s agenda begin, conservatives can take comfort in his brother’s testimony. “He’s not changing who he is,” Louis assured listeners, hinting at a commitment to orthodoxy. This matters in an era where even some church leaders cave to progressive pressures.
The Prevost family’s story proves that faith, family, and loyalty to timeless principles still shape greatness. As Pope Leo XIV begins his reign, every American who values their spiritual roots should pray for his success—and remember the humble beginnings that brought him to this sacred calling.
