• Prevost defended his controversial social media post about Nancy Pelosi but acknowledged the need to “tone it down” to avoid creating challenges for his brother. He indicated a shift in his approach to avoid provocative comments that could impact the pope’s reputation.

Louis Prevost, brother of Pope Leo XIV, recently addressed the swirling speculations about the new pontiff’s ideological stance. Prevost, a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump, emphasized that while the new pope is more liberal than himself, he is not inclined toward radical change.

Prevost’s comments come at a time when the Catholic Church is navigating a delicate balance between tradition and modernity. Pope Leo XIV, formerly Cardinal Robert Prevost, is seen as a potentially transformative figure, yet his brother insists that he will not overturn the reforms initiated by Pope Francis.

“I don’t think he is going to roll back the changes that [Pope] Francis made… but he will maintain that,” Prevost stated, highlighting his brother’s commitment to continuity.

Prevost further clarified that while Pope Leo might support expanding advisory roles for women, he is unlikely to endorse major doctrinal shifts such as the ordination of women or the approval of same-sex marriage. This stance aligns with the Church’s traditional views on homosexuality and gay marriage, which Prevost described as “not right” or “not correct.”

“I don’t think he is going to go, pull the church hard left,” Prevost asserted, suggesting that Pope Leo will adopt a centrist approach to governance.

Navigating international relations

The interview also touched on the potential dynamics between Pope Leo XIV and Trump. Prevost predicted “bumps” and “heated conversation” if the two leaders were to meet, but he doubted that their interactions would escalate into significant conflict. Comparing the potential relationship to Trump’s exchanges with other world leaders, Prevost noted, “I think it will be like Trump and Zelensky, where there might be some tension, but I don’t see them becoming enemies.” (Related: Historic Vatican meeting: Trump and Zelensky seek peace amid Ukraine-Russia conflict.)

Prevost expressed confidence that neither Leo nor Trump would publicly criticize each other, dismissing the likelihood of Trump labeling the pope a “jerk” or a “communist sympathizer.”

He also believes that his brother will maintain a balanced approach in engaging with global leaders. This perspective underscores the pope’s potential role as a mediator and peacemaker on the world stage.

“He’s going to be down the middle,” Prevost stated, emphasizing his brother’s pragmatic and diplomatic approach to international relations.

Controversial social media activity

The interview also addressed Prevost’s own controversial social media presence, particularly a post referring to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as a “drunk c***.” Prevost stood by his comments, stating, “I wouldn’t have posted it if I didn’t kind of believe it.”

However, he acknowledged the need to “tone it down” to avoid creating unnecessary challenges for his brother. He revealed that the Vatican had not yet contacted him about his online activity, but he was aware of the potential impact his statements could have on Pope Leo’s reputation.

Prevost indicated a shift in his approach, stating he would avoid engaging with provocative comments to prevent being baited into statements that could be used against the pope. “I had no idea what was coming this soon, and I can tell you, since then, I’ve been very quiet, biting my tongue at some of the stuff that is out there on social media,” he declared.

Prevost’s decision reflects a growing awareness of the responsibilities that come with being the brother of the pope. “I don’t need to create heat for [Leo], he’s going to have enough,” he added, highlighting his commitment to supporting his brother without causing additional controversy.

As the world watches, Pope Leo XIV will face the challenge of balancing tradition with modernity, guided by his own convictions and the expectations of a diverse and global Church.
