Pope Leo XIV's oldest brother stands by sharing foul-mouthed anti-Pelosi post

The eldest brother of Pope Leo XIV defended his choice to circulate a social media post that labeled California Rep. Nancy Pelosi with an offensive term, stating on Monday, “I wouldn’t have shared it if I didn’t somewhat agree with it.”

Louis Prevost did not express any regret for the derogatory comment aimed at the former House Speaker, predicting in a conversation with Piers Morgan what the initial encounter between President Trump and the new pope would entail.

This extensive interview with the pope’s brother, who openly supports Donald Trump, follows reports from media outlets about numerous Facebook posts that Prevost, 73, either authored or shared prior to his brother’s elevation from Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost to the new Pope Leo XIV.

One inflammatory post was a video shared by Prevost from another social media user that showed Pelosi in 1996 talking about tariffs with a caption slamming her, including calling her the c-word.

“Well, I posted it, and I wouldn’t have posted it if I didn’t kind of believe it,” Prevost said on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” before he expressed a bit of regret.

“However, 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, because I don’t want to create waves that don’t need to be there because I’m a MAGA type and I have my beliefs,” he added. “I don’t need to create heat for [Leo], he’s going to have enough.”

While Louis Prevost acknowledged Leo isn’t as conservative as he is, he insisted the pope won’t back gay marriage or women priests, and claimed he’s not “woke.”

“I don’t know that I would even go that far to say he is woke,” he said when asked by Morgan.

“I don’t think he is going to go, pull the church hard left,” Prevost also said. “I think he’s going to be down the middle.”

He said while he believes Leo will welcome gay people into church, similarly to Francis, he doesn’t think Leo will make a push for same-sex marriage. He also said he might put women in advisory positions within the church, but won’t approve of them becoming priests.

When Morgan asked Prevost about his brother’s possible relationship with Trump, he hinted at a slight confrontation, even though he doesn’t believe they’ll be “enemies.”

“If and when he meets with President Trump, I don’t doubt there will be some bumps in the discussion and some heated conversation,” he said.

Leo was elected pope last week to much fanfare and has since revealed some of his positions as he takes the helm of the Catholic church.
