In brief
In a recent interview, Louis Prevost, the older brother of Pope Leo XIV, shared heartfelt memories from their upbringing in a Chicago suburb, underscoring his brother’s inclination towards peace and spirituality from a young age. From playful imitations of a priest to becoming the leader of over 1.4 billion Catholics, Robert Francis Prevost—known as Rob—has astonished his family, particularly Louis, who candidly expressed his surprise at his brother's ascent to papacy. Despite their differing viewpoints on matters like conflict, Louis remains confident in his brother’s capabilities, suggesting he will follow in the footsteps of Pope Francis but with a more conservative approach. As their conversations morph into treasured memories, Louis contemplates the challenges of maintaining a familial connection with someone who now holds such a monumental role.
