The Pope’s family drama just went global.
Just days after Pope Leo XIV made history as the first American pontiff, his eldest brother, Louis Prevost, is under fire for vulgar social media posts that have now gone viral. The 73-year-old Florida man called Rep. Nancy Pelosi a “drunk c—” in a Facebook post uncovered by the Daily Beast.
MAGA Posts and Pelosi Attack
Louis Prevost, a self-described conservative, is a vocal Trump supporter who frequently posted far-right memes and political tirades. In one shared post, he captioned a clip of Pelosi speaking in 1996: “These f–king liberals crying about tariffs is just unreal… Just listen to what this drunk c— has to say.”
He added another jab about Pelosi’s husband, claiming he had “Grindr dates.”
The inflammatory posts with the Pope’s Brother vile slur raise questions for Pope Leo XIV, born Robert Francis Prevost, who has publicly distanced himself from extreme conservative rhetoric.
Anti-Liberal, Anti-Democrat Rants
Louis’s online footprint doesn’t stop there. He posted a meme showing a mental asylum labeled, “Where the woke lived before the ’70s.” Prevost also said Democrats should be jailed for treason over meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
He praised Vice President JD Vance for his campaign debate, despite Leo XIV previously sharing criticism of Vance.
Brothers Divided by Beliefs
The Prevost brothers grew up in Dolton, Illinois. Louis has described his youngest brother as someone who “always sought peace,” though he now jokes, “I was throwing him down the stairs, and now he’s pope!”
Despite political differences, Louis said he supports his brother’s new role. He told CBS News he “lost it” when Leo was named pope: “Mind blown. My little brother was just made pope.”
No Vatican Response Yet
The Vatican has not addressed the comments, though critics have begun to scrutinize Pope Leo XIV’s background and family ties. While the pope is seen as a moderate with social justice leanings, his brother’s inflammatory posts complicate the optics.
Louis described Leo as “similar to Pope Francis, but maybe not quite as liberal.” He added, “I think he’d be a little more conservative.”
Chicago Roots and Baseball Fandom
The other brother, John Prevost, recently revealed a less controversial fact: Pope Leo XIV is a lifelong fan of the Chicago White Sox—not the Cubs.
While politics swirl, family pride remains strong. Louis is still basking in his brother’s rise to the top of the Catholic Church, saying, “Do I have to change the way I live? I better behave now.”
