It’s really incredible that they elected an American Pope. His brother is hilarious and the family sounds down to earth…. No more gutters and roof for his brother. 😂
The nice thing is that because the conclave lasted less than a day he can keep his Wordle streak. That is, if he had time today after becoming the pope and all.
@@aliensinnoh1Lol. I'm all about my Wordle streak, too! I'm not sure he'll have time. He may have to delegate his Wordle to an assistant sometimes. Lol
Mr. John Prevost is a great man , he was the principal of my and my children's grammar school . I feel comfortable saying that Pope Leo XIV is a good man . Mom and dad are looking down on him and as proud as if they were here . Congratulations Pope Leo XIV and to the Prevost family .
This was my father's family. Irish Catholic family, he was one of 7, he went into the Navy along with his older brothers, sister became a a Fransican nun, one brother became a Diocesan Priest, another sister a Catholic educator.
"I always put him on the roof so he can reach the branches. That's not going to happen anymore!" Wow, I admire their relationship. Seems like they have a lot of closeness and good humor.
can you imagine the casual talks they might have. "hey rob, I some branches I need taken care of, can you come by? "Sorry, I need to be God's earthly emissary of a billion people across the globe. maybe after mass."
Keeping the camera on the brother, and not bringing the interviewer in the visual shot was great !!! It kept the focus. A very superior interview to the ABC station.
Such a sweet, funny and wonderful brother. As a Catholic from Chicago who grew up in Oak Park, IL, I am elated. I am inspired by this choice. We need Pope Leo XIV and the healing he can bring to the world…the meek shall inherit the earth.
I felt the same exact way! I think he's very humble, relatable, and down to earth, which must run in the family because his brother from Florida seems just as kind 😊
What a respectful and kind man. It is so obvious that our new Pope was formed by the Holy Spirit. He is the right man for the job and the right man for our times.
This guy is hilarious! 😂 very loving and fun family. The pope speaks 6 languages and follows the socks, yeah! Fantastic down to earth interview. Mom nDad rip can be so proud.
I'd like to congratulate this interviewer on scoring this amazing interview. Hyper sensitive to a person who must have his guard up high. You got him to relax, and a very delightful story. Well done! Congratulations to the new papal family.
Mr. John Prevost, you said it's surreal. Sir, the USA feels the same way. The FIRST Pope from America! We are also so extremely proud today. And man, we needed a GOOD day!
@mchapman1928 I like how these outsiders think that we will change our whole identity because they are offended by calling ourselves Americans… no we won’t change our whole identity for you.
If Pope Leo XIV sees this interview, he'll be proud of his brother, John Prevost. This was a great insight into our new Pope. Thanks to Mr. Prevost for sharing and thanks to the reporter (Christian Farr) who did a fine job. Finally, to the folks in the Pope's hometown of Dolton, IL (who have been through tough times but are seeing better times) I'll bet you're thanking your God tonight. God Bless the Pope!
It sounds like possibly his entire life if he knew he was going to be a priest since first grade. In another interview he did he said a neighbor lady said back when he was in first grade that he was going to be pope one day!
Crazy I grew up Catholic in Chicago going to Catholic schools and this guy sounds like so many people I know. Never thought the pope would be coming from my neck of the woods. I hope people treat him charitably because he is taking on a tough job.
He now has a huge responsibility as well. The Pope's brothers are now likely the only people in his life with whom he can totally unburden himself, be Rob. Just be loved for himself. With the weight of 1.4B people & the world as it is, to call John & just ask "did the Sox win last night?" and to hear his big brother say "I love you" is huge.
Well-spoken and tranquil disposition. Talked with his sibling Tuesday before the conclave asking about his socks! Speaks well of his baby brother, the pontiff. xo
How lovely. With a thoughtful, refreshing interview. I like that Robert Provost, now Pope Leo XIV, grew up in Middle America and had a wholesome childhood. He got his calling at such a young age, so it is sad that the life that he knew in Chicago changed radically, but he was meant for something different. He was called by God to serve. Again, very lovely learning about our new Pope from his older brother.
Excellent interview. Obviously the reporter is good at getting the brother to talk, but John Prevost is also being very generous with his time and expressiveness.
Congratulations to the Prevost family. What a blessing for all and May God protect and guide the new Pope Leo XIV to help bring peace and comfort to the world
I am touched by him saying that he feels sad that his brother’s life as a normal person is all gone, and his little brother, Rob, could not visit him in this summer like he used to do. 😢 I am not religious but I am glad that the new Pope grew up in such a loving and caring family.
“He didn’t think so” aka didn’t think he’d be chosen. That’s a sign of humility that’s important in any leader but especially a religious one. Incredible he was so devoted to religion at such a young age, too! I’m critical of many aspects of the Catholic Church but I have confidence in Leo XIV
Wow, that is a total commitment to God. I can't imagine being an 8th grader who has committed their life like that..... Many blessings to you and your family.,.. may the good Lord keep you on your family safe. 🙏🏼
You are so right, he is cute, he looks like he will be a very great enormous support to his brother. I hope and pray they are as sweet and kind as they look. They look like the sweetest that can be. Leo is a blessed name, very very blessed. They are adorable, by the Grace of GOD it will stay that way. TMH cover them, in The LIGHT.😊
Awesome, brother, and interview. All three brothers sound like they had good careers. Parents must be looking down and very proud of their son for this unbelievable accomplishment.
Thank you!! You are a great brother. By his side when he needs you. You already show your love for your brother. I will pray for strength and joy..Thank you!!!
I was wrong in my first comments. This interview says that two ladies in their neighborhood told him when he was in 1st grade that he’d be the first American Pope. It was not his first grade teacher as I thought I heard his brother say in his first interview. But the prophecy was still the same!! His brother loves who his brother, the Pope is, just being himself!! That’s beautiful! That’s all in God’s plan so the family would be prepared and ready throughout the years. Today, they are a family who can step into the destiny the Lord prepared Cardinal Prevost, Pope Leo for! GOD IS GREAT‼️✝️✝️✝️🌹♥️🩸
Is anyone else struck by how remarkably normal and HILARIOUS his brother seems? I feel like these are the Catholics that people enjoy being around.
❤❤❤❤❤
People's Pope
This reads like quite a backhanded compliment 🤔Are some of them not fun to be around?
Judas was very friendly too...
I agree, seem like normal folks.
I love how he slips and calls him "Rob" but oops...Pope Leo! Lol They sound like just relatable down to earth ordinary folks. How adorable.
I know right. Now he is holy...not Rob.... 😂. It is nice to have insight on the Pope's young life.
The Pope was the baby ❤
He says it for the camera. He’s still Rob at the dinner table!
It’s really incredible that they elected an American Pope. His brother is hilarious and the family sounds down to earth…. No more gutters and roof for his brother. 😂
Excommunication can now be used as threats between the brothers.
"First we do Wordle," is perfection! Wishing both these Men long lives of great happiness and Gods joy.
The nice thing is that because the conclave lasted less than a day he can keep his Wordle streak. That is, if he had time today after becoming the pope and all.
@@aliensinnoh1Lol. I'm all about my Wordle streak, too! I'm not sure he'll have time. He may have to delegate his Wordle to an assistant sometimes. Lol
Last world he did was Macho LOL and we guessed nacho first
I like this brother!!
Mr. John Prevost is a great man , he was the principal of my and my children's grammar school . I feel comfortable saying that Pope Leo XIV is a good man . Mom and dad are looking down on him and as proud as if they were here . Congratulations Pope Leo XIV and to the Prevost family .
*principal
Wow!! Incredible comment. May God bless you and your family.
Love, Laura from New Hampshire
Sounds like he never married and had kids.
@LauraDawes-zh6hz Thank you Laura.
@CheapsKate77 Yes I should have proof read my comment , I think k that was auto fill .
"Did you watch Conclave? Do you know how to behave?" ROFLOL!!!!
THAT was awesome!
My thoughts exactly! The Vatican is far from what Hollywood portrayed…
😂😂😂
Such a sibling line.
If he's anything like this brother then they chose the right guy. I'm finding comfort in this brother's interview.
Amen!
Same he seems like a down to earth good guy
A priest, a teacher, and a soldier (turned IT professional)
I don't know what their parents did but they sure raised well.
This was my father's family. Irish Catholic family, he was one of 7, he went into the Navy along with his older brothers, sister became a a Fransican nun, one brother became a Diocesan Priest, another sister a Catholic educator.
You meant to say pope, principal and officer surely.
A priest, a teacher, and a soldier walked into a bar...
Don't forget all the child abusers the priest gave safe harbor to. If there's a hell he belongs in it.
this man is a born communicator, and so generous with his time and with sharing his memories of his family! i'm totally charmed by him :)
I'm not Catholic but I'm really looking forward to the welcome he gets on his first trip home to America. Congratulations Pope Leo XIV. 🇺🇸
Yep!
"Be yourself and he'll have it made" that's beautiful coming from his big brother....
His brother made a powerful statement when he asked him how will his brother do, and he said, "If he be himself, then he got it made."
What a stand-up guy and it seems like a really good brother. Great interview too.
"I always put him on the roof so he can reach the branches. That's not going to happen anymore!"
Wow, I admire their relationship. Seems like they have a lot of closeness and good humor.
can you imagine the casual talks they might have. "hey rob, I some branches I need taken care of, can you come by?
"Sorry, I need to be God's earthly emissary of a billion people across the globe. maybe after mass."
This guy is adorable. What a great asset and commercial for his brother, the Pope.
That interviewer was outstanding
Agreed
Keeping the camera on the brother, and not bringing the interviewer in the visual shot was great !!! It kept the focus.
A very superior interview to the ABC station.
Yes-agreed! Open-ended quesitons, and let him answer in his own way and time. Well done!
Popes brother is also a humble person.
I’m not Catholic but am happy to see his brother so humble too.
I'm Jewish and I was totally charmed by this gentleman! It doesn't matter our faiths, a good person is universal 😊
Very well said!@@bearyhot
35 years as a Catholic school principal. What a wonderful family.
27 years…
What school?
Such a sweet, funny and wonderful brother. As a Catholic from Chicago who grew up in Oak Park, IL, I am elated. I am inspired by this choice. We need Pope Leo XIV and the healing he can bring to the world…the meek shall inherit the earth.
Retired teacher here. "We have to laugh." Thankful Rob has a new job and can stay off the roof. Best brother interview!
Why do I love the brother? He's so funny and charismatic. I'm sure Pope Leo XIV has a similar disposition (humble and charismatic).
I felt the same exact way! I think he's very humble, relatable, and down to earth, which must run in the family because his brother from Florida seems just as kind 😊
I read somewhere that the Pope has a loud laughter he likes to joke. I appreciate that trait.
He's a natural born teacher with God-given talent to connect to others. What a great guy! I'm glad to see this is the brother and wish them both well
What a respectful and kind man. It is so obvious that our new Pope was formed by the Holy Spirit. He is the right man for the job and the right man for our times.
I agree. Looking forward to his leadership.
I am Jewish and I totally agree with you. So happy to see Catholic's going in this direction.
If only that spirit DIDN'T form child abusers in his churches.
I'm Jewish too, and I'm completely charmed by this gentleman. what a wonderful family! No matter our faith, being a good person is universal!
What a great brother.
This guy is hilarious! 😂 very loving and fun family. The pope speaks 6 languages and follows the socks, yeah! Fantastic down to earth interview. Mom nDad rip can be so proud.
Um, Sox.
I'd like to congratulate this interviewer on scoring this amazing interview. Hyper sensitive to a person who must have his guard up high. You got him to relax, and a very delightful story. Well done! Congratulations to the new papal family.
Yes, and allowed the brother to talk and share his memories of his brother.
John, have safe travels tomorrow. May God bless and keep your dear brother safe and free from worry and stress.
Yes indeed: Safe Travels!!
John Prevost is representing Illinois and his brother very well. Great interview, and thanks for posting!
Mr. John Prevost, you said it's surreal. Sir, the USA feels the same way. The FIRST Pope from America! We are also so extremely proud today. And man, we needed a GOOD day!
First Pope from the USA. Pope Francis I was from South America.
@mchapman1928 I like how these outsiders think that we will change our whole identity because they are offended by calling ourselves Americans… no we won’t change our whole identity for you.
@mchapman1928 Americans aren’t going to change their whole identity because outsiders are offended by them calling themselves American.
@mchapman1928 “first pope from the USA” yeah! So the first American pope!
@@mchapman1928 relax most of the world refers to the USA as America. You know what they meant.
Nice family, regular people. Happy for them, but wish their mom and dad could be here to witness such an incredible occurrence.
I thought the same. Maybe Pope Leon was emotional because his parents didn’t get a chance to see it
If Pope Leo XIV sees this interview, he'll be proud of his brother, John Prevost. This was a great insight into our new Pope. Thanks to Mr. Prevost for sharing and thanks to the reporter (Christian Farr) who did a fine job. Finally, to the folks in the Pope's hometown of Dolton, IL (who have been through tough times but are seeing better times) I'll bet you're thanking your God tonight. God Bless the Pope!
He has served the Lord, since 8th grade. 🙏❤️🕊
It sounds like possibly his entire life if he knew he was going to be a priest since first grade. In another interview he did he said a neighbor lady said back when he was in first grade that he was going to be pope one day!
What a charming guy! Congrats to the Prevost family, enjoy your trip to Rome!
And many blessings continue at the Prevost family.
What a gem of a brother. Super regular down to earth honest conscientious...all the good stuff.
That’s a good big brother! Proud of his little brother❤
Mr. Prevost seems like an admirable, amiable man. Blessings on the whole family!
What a beautiful brother he wanted to take his mind off it and wanted him to laugh because it’s such a big responsibility ❤
Crazy I grew up Catholic in Chicago going to Catholic schools and this guy sounds like so many people I know. Never thought the pope would be coming from my neck of the woods. I hope people treat him charitably because he is taking on a tough job.
he's taking the seat of Antichrist as all popes do.
Wow, this brother’s so cool and seems like a really nice guy.
He now has a huge responsibility as well. The Pope's brothers are now likely the only people in his life with whom he can totally unburden himself, be Rob. Just be loved for himself. With the weight of 1.4B people & the world as it is, to call John & just ask "did the Sox win last night?" and to hear his big brother say "I love you" is huge.

So true.

His brother seems delightful. I bet the new Pope is just like him. So cheerful, pleasant and relatable.
What a fun, authentic person ! Thanks for a good interview !
I absolutely love this man! If Pope Leo is anything like him, we are gonna be great!
His Brother Sounds So Humble May Peace Be With you Pope Leo and Your Family 🙏💞🙌✝️🕎🛐
This interview was a delight to listen to ❤ what a great family.
Like a brother. How wonderful for the Holy Father to have a family like this. ❤❤
There is only one Holy Father, and he ain't the Pope.
@@kylehansen2122get over it father is how catholics refer to a priest . We get it.
What a lovely brother❤
What a lovely man. May God bless you, your family and the Holy Father. 🙏🏻 🕊️
Excellent interview. Obviously the reporter is good at getting the brother to talk, but John Prevost is also being very generous with his time and expressiveness.
Really nice interview. Thank you. What an honor. Few Popes are made IN HISTORY and here’s the big brother of one. An amazing occurrence.
Congratulations to the Prevost family. What a blessing for all and May God protect and guide the new Pope Leo XIV to help bring peace and comfort to the world
Wow that's a lot of questions he answered. Very personable
It was a great interview. It says a lot about the family and their upbringing. I’m sure he’ll be a great pope.
My Brother the Man!! Dolton, Illinois stand up. It’s nice to hear something positive from Dolton! God Bless!
is this man the older brother?
@@tommas2674this man is the middle brother. The older brother lives in Florida.
@@tommas2674Middle brother
@@tommas2674Yes. They are a year apart.
Middle brother.
What a wonderful thing to say about his brother. What a blessing his parents saw him in Peru
Awww, what a beautiful man! Prayers for him too!!!! Thank you for your service to catholic education!
I am touched by him saying that he feels sad that his brother’s life as a normal person is all gone, and his little brother, Rob, could not visit him in this summer like he used to do. 😢 I am not religious but I am glad that the new Pope grew up in such a loving and caring family.
A big love between brothers. Thank you for let us know how wonderful human being is our new pop Leo❤❤❤
A very likeable and friendly man 😊
what a breath of fresh air❤ much love to the new pope's family, and GO SOX!!!
Great interview! You asked all the right questions!!
Great interview
Prayers for the brother who isn't feeling well and for their whole family as they adjust
sad Families are always trying to be together, I know.

the affection in his voice, he's so excited. this is so sweet and endearing. what a PR gift for the vatican
So humble, such an honor❤❤❤
Such a beautiful human being, thank you for sharing your family with all of us 🙏🌹☦️
Such a cute, quaint, wholesome, good guy. Now he has to go and see the Michaelangelo and Raphael work up close, in person!
You are so right, he is cute, he looks like he will be a very great enormous support to his brother. I hope and pray they are as sweet and kind as they look. They look like the sweetest that can be. Leo is a blessed name, very very blessed. They are adorable, by the Grace of GOD it will stay that way. TMH cover them, in The LIGHT.😊

he has such a beautiful sense of humor. what a wonderful interview
❤❤🙏🏼🙏🏼 His brother is just a darling!! May God oversee and guide our new Holy Father Pope Leo XIV 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love that no matter how high you make it in life--you can even become the pope--but your siblings will still keep you honest
This is great. Thanks for talking to one of the brothers. Makes him seem real now.
The meaning of well mannered and educated family.
Such a sweet relationship...
Awesome, brother, and interview. All three brothers sound like they had good careers. Parents must be looking down and very proud of their son for this unbelievable accomplishment.
Seems like a very sweet man from a kind family. I’m not catholic but I enjoy biblical theology.
I pray he’ll do the best he can for his people and country.
I can completely feel his joy and shock. He seems like a lovely man and funny too!
Thank you!! You are a great brother. By his side when he needs you. You already show your love for your brother.
I will pray for strength and joy..Thank you!!!
Family heading to ROME 🎉❤to see Rob / pope
Very humanizing interview! So much love and congratulations to that family and may he have a wonderful impact on the world!
This is the best interview I’ve seen of him yet on the actual day!
Thank you for interviewing and letting us all know about you and your family! Really grateful!
This is the best interview! He seems like such a wonderfully kind man.
What a cool man. He seems so down to earth and quite humorous. I hope Pope Leo has some of the same traits.
That brother was so cool.
What a good brother.
What a nice man this brother is. How wonderful to know that Pope Leo is part of a family who is loving and loves him.
"Do you have your red socks?" 😆
No, it’s White Sox. Is it okay for a pope to be a fan of the team with the scandal???
That's such a good joke 😂🤣
i dont get it
@@nocheapdopamine725 It's a joke about supporting the Boston Red Sox.
Wow this guy is great. We need more people like him.
I can only imagine how proud he must be of his brother! 😊
This is so cool! Must be so excited and proud.
"We have to laugh." I loved that, really great energy from the brother.
What a wonderful person ❤
It’s crazy to imagine being that casual American dude living like any of us and hearing his brother becoming Pope……….
I am just so very touched by this interview! What an amazing family.
Such an Honor 🙏🏻
They are so South Suburban Chicagoans. I love it!
10 mins from me lol
