Pope Leo XIV is not only the first U.S. pontiff, he’s also probably the first pope with a family member who supports Donald Trump.
In his first big interview since he was selected to head the Catholic Church in May, Pope Leo admitted he and his brother have different political philosophies.
One of the pontiff’s two older brothers, Louis Prevost, is a self-admitted “MAGA type” who has shared content on social media attacking Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), as well as the parents of trans kids.
Pope Leo made it clear that he and his brothers are “very close,” but admitted that “one is far on one end politically,” and “we’re in different places.”
The pontiff noted that his brother had met with Trump shortly after Leo became head of the Vatican Church, explaining how much he was willing to get personally involved in the politics of individual nations.
