US EditionLeo XIV’s brother recalls feeling of ‘disbelief’ over his sibling becoming pope
- Former Cardinal Robert Prevost became Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope, in an announcement made on Thursday.
- Louis Prevost, the new pope's older brother, recalled that many recognized something special in Robert from an early age and that they discussed the possibility before the conclave.
- Leo XIV, who was born in Chicago in 1955, became a member of the Augustinian Order in 1977, completed his studies at Villanova University and the Catholic Theological Union, and spent several years serving as a missionary in Peru.
- Louis expressed confidence that his brother would excel as pope, attributing this to his genuine connection with people, which has been strengthened through his extensive international experiences.
- The elevation marks a new beginning with an American and global outlook, though Louis acknowledged their close relationship will likely change due to the pope's new role.
