Leo XIV's brother recalls feeling of 'disbelief' over his sibling becoming pope - Associated Press

John Prevost says he felt 'disbelief' when his brother, Robert Prevost, was named pope on Thursday. He says the new Pope Leo XIV is very concerned for the poor and those who don’t have a voice. He said he expects his younger brother to be a “second Pope Francis.”

I am not Catholic, but it sounds like they chose a good man to lead their church.
