CWN Editor's Note: John Prevost revealed that he speaks daily with his younger brother, Pope Leo XIV, every day by phone, during an NBC interview.
John Prevost, a retired school principal, said that he and his more famous sibling play Wordle together during their mostly light-hearted exchanges. He said that he did not know when the Pontiff might visit his native Chicago, but disclosed that the Pope had promised “for sure he’s going to be here for my funeral.”
Regarding his brother’s new life in the apostolic palace, John Prevost said that the Pope misses driving a car, and has enjoyed his brief breaks at the papal residence in Castel Gandolfo, where “it just is relaxing and away from the crowd — away from the grind, so to speak.”
