John Prevost: brother is 'middle of the road,' will follow in Pope Francis's footsteps (New York Times)

Catholic Culture Friday, 9 May 2025 ()
John Prevost, one of Pope Leo’s two brothers, spoke with The New York Times about his brother’s election as Pope.

Prevost, who typically speaks with his brother nightly, said his brother told him before the conclave, “No way, not going to happen.”

Prevost described his brother as “middle of the road” but not afraid to speak his mind. “I know he’s not happy with what’s going on with immigration,” and he “has great, great desire to help the downtrodden and the disenfranchised, the people who are ignored.”

Prevost added:

The best way I could describe him right now is that he will be following in Francis’ footsteps. They were very good friends. They knew each other before he was pope, before my brother even was bishop.
