Jetlagged but totally hyped, Pope Leo XIV’s brother John Prevost is back home after a whirlwind couple of days in the Vatican. He’s trying to get back into the swing of things after hanging out with his brother post his election to the papacy. His main priorities now that he’s back? Mowing the lawn, cracking open a cold one, and coming to terms with this crazy new reality he’s living in.
John Prevost spilled the beans about his time in Rome, sharing how he tagged along with his brother to various events, even venturing outside the Vatican on a couple of church outings. The crowds were off the charts, with people screaming ‘papa! Papa! Papa!’ and reaching out to shake hands with the new pope. The excitement was palpable, and it definitely left an impression on everyone present.
Now, there’s all this chatter about what kind of pope Leo XIV will be, whether he’ll break away from his predecessor or stick to the same path. But according to Prevost, his brother is all about spreading hope and fostering unity. He’s pegging him as the next Pope Francis, bringing people together and keeping the faith alive. And let’s not forget the proud moment when Prevost showed off pics of his folks and siblings, proudly declaring that he always knew his brother was destined for greatness.
