  • Speaking to CNN before Friday’s first anniversary of Pope Leo XIV’s 2025 election, Prevost said he and his Trump-supporting brother Louis still speak weekly but limit political talk.
  • He said neither side would change the other’s mind, so the brothers focus on family and everyday life despite clashes over issues including immigration.
