The brother of Robert Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, said the newly elected pontiff will likely follow in the late Pope Francis’s footsteps to serve and look out for “those who don’t have a voice.”
John Prevost, one of Robert’s two brothers, said that Francis and Leo were “two of a kind,” noting that his brother will be “looking out for the disenfranchised, he will be looking out for the poor, he will be looking out for those who don’t have a voice.”
When asked how Pope Francis and Pope Leo are different, John replied, “I don’t know that you’ll see a big difference,” noting the two met before Francis became pope.
“I think because they both were in South America at the same time — in Peru and in Argentina — they had the same experiences in working with missions and working with the downtrodden,” he told ABC News on Wednesday. “So I think that’s the experience that they’re both coming from.”
