Louis Prevost, the Trump supporting brother of newly elected Pope Leo XIV, has addressed speculations about the pontiff’s ideological stance, firmly rejecting claims that his brother is “woke.”
In an interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Prevost described Pope Leo, formerly Cardinal Robert Prevost, as more liberal than himself but emphasized that the new pope would not steer the Catholic Church in a radically progressive direction.
He noted that Pope Leo is unlikely to reverse the reforms introduced by Pope Francis, stating, “I don’t think he is going to roll back the changes that [Pope] Francis made… but he will maintain that.”
'I don't know that I'd go that far to say he's woke… I don't think we'll see women priests.'

Prevost clarified that while Leo might support expanding advisory roles for women, major doctrinal shifts, such as approving women’s ordination or same-sex marriage, are improbable, as he believes the Church views homosexuality and gay marriage as “not right” or “not correct.”
“I don’t think he is going to go, pull the church hard left,” Prevost pontificated (pun intended), adding “I think he’s going to be down the middle.”
'In the Church's eye, homosexuality is not right… I don't think we'll see him endorse gay marriage.'

Prevost, a self-described MAGA supporter, also discussed the potential dynamics between Pope Leo XIV and President Donald Trump, predicting “bumps” and “heated conversation” if they meet. However, he doubted their interactions would escalate into significant conflict, comparing it to Trump’s more contentious exchanges, like with Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Prevost expressed confidence that neither Leo nor Trump would become “enemies,” and he dismissed the likelihood of Trump publicly criticizing the pope, stating, “‘Oh the Pope’s a jerk and he’s a communist sympathiser’ whatever, I don’t see any of that.”
Prevost’s believes that his brother, while ideologically distinct, would maintain a balanced approach in engaging with global leaders like Trump.
The interview also touched on Prevost’s own controversial social media activity, particularly a post referring to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as a “drunk c***”, which he stood by, saying, “I wouldn’t have posted it if I didn’t kind of believe it.”
However, he expressed an intention to “tone it down” to avoid creating unnecessary challenges for his brother, noting that the Vatican had not yet contacted him about his online presence.
'I've backed off a lot… until I've had a chance to talk to my brother.'

Prevost indicated a shift in his approach, stating he would avoid engaging with provocative comments to prevent being baited into statements that could be used against Pope Leo.
“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 declared, adding “I don’t need to create heat for [Leo], he’s going to have enough.”
