Pope Leo XIV’s estranged eldest brother, a MAGA die-hard regarded as the family’s “black sheep,” confessed “to everything short of murder and incest” during penance with the reigning pontiff.
Louis Prevost, 73, made a surprise appearance on a “Piers Morgan Uncensored” episode set to air on YouTube this Friday and provided an inside look at his “life-changing” transformation sparked by his baby brother’s appointment to the papacy.
Prevost said he returned to the Catholic Church after years of struggling to find his place, since he believed the sins he had to confess were too jarring for the average priest to handle.
So, Prevost figured that with his sibling now in the highest possible office within the church, he might as well seek confession with him, according to a preview clip of the episode shared with The Post.
But the Pope originally shot down his request, Prevost told Morgan and his panelists. His holy brother only just obliged during a visit in October.
“I asked him to take my confession, and I spilled all of the beans to him about my past 50 years, so he is well aware — that kind of confirms what he thought, I’m sure — and now he’s aware that I’m back and wholeheartedly back,” he said.
Prevost refused to specify what exactly the steaming “beans” were on-air and tantalizingly offered that it included “everything short of murder and incest.”
The panel balked at his admission while Morgan burst out laughing and swiftly concluded the segment.
Prevost acknowledged that he was perceived as “the black sheep of the family” — no thanks to the ire he’s frequently drawn for his stance as “a MAGA kind of guy.” Still, he noted he’s trying to temper his online attitude for his family’s benefit.
“Being more Catholic, being more observant, shall I say, being less hostile towards people I don’t agree with. I’ve toned down my tweets and my Facebook posts because they always catch fire and end up on the news,” Prevost told the panel.
He admitted that his other brother, John Prevost, has asked him to be less “vocal about things” that are “so negative or so offensive.”
Prevost said that his two younger brothers are noticeably closer, which he credited to his prolonged absence while he was serving in the US Navy.
“I missed a lot of stuff with them growing up, the thing they probably remember most is me beating up on them all the time,” he told the panel.
“That drilled them to be closer together. They talk pretty much every day. I get to talk to my brother, the Pope, maybe once a week,” he added.
After Pope Leo XIV was elected in early May, online sleuths dredged up Prevost’s profanity-laced social media posts, including one where he called Rep. Nancy Pelosi a “drunk c—.”
Prevost insisted during another appearance on Morgan’s show, “I wouldn’t have posted it if I didn’t kind of believe it.”
The full interview with the pope’s no-filter brother will be available to watch on Piers Morgan Uncensored, YouTube.
