EWTN News reports on an interview with John Prevost, the brother of the current usurper of the Chair of Peter, Leo XIV (Robert Prevost), portraying a “normal” childhood and the new “pope’s” supposed holiness and impact. This narrative, presented through the lens of the conciliar sect’s own media, is a masterclass in the normalization of apostasy, reducing the sacred office of the papacy to a familial anecdote and the Church’s mission to a feel-good story of “coming back” to a structure that has abandoned the Faith.
The “Normal” Upbringing in a World Without God
The interview meticulously constructs an image of a “normal” American Catholic family. John Prevost describes their childhood as “regular — go to school, come home, do your homework, go out and play… We all went to Catholic education all the way through high school.” This is the language of the world, not of the Church. It is the language of the abomination of desolation, where the supernatural is reduced to the mundane, and the formation of souls is equated with a middle-class American upbringing. The mention of “Bozo’s Circus” and building sheds is not charming; it is a symptom of a faith that has been successfully integrated into the secular world, stripped of its otherworldly demands and its call to separation from the spirit of the age. This is the fruit of the post-conciliar revolution: a “Catholicism” indistinguishable from the world, a “faith” that is merely a cultural accessory.
The “Calling” to the Priesthood in the Conciliar Sect
John Prevost states that his brother “always wanted to be a priest” and that “from a young age, we always knew that he had that calling.” This is presented as a personal vocation, a family anecdote. But what does it mean to be a “priest” in the conciliar sect? It means participating in the Novus Ordo Missae, a rite that, as the [FILE: False Fatima Apparitions] document notes, diminishes the efficacy of the Holy Mass in favor of “spectacular acts” and undermines the centralized role of the Church and the sacraments. It means serving a structure that has embraced the very errors condemned by Pope Pius IX in the [FILE: The Syllabus Of Errors Pope Pius IX – 1864], such as the “civil liberty of every form of worship” (Proposition 79) and the idea that the Church should “reconcile herself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Proposition 80). To have a “calling” to serve this structure is not a sign of holiness; it is a sign of complicity in the greatest betrayal of the Church since the Arian heresy.
The “Pope” as a Figure of “Patience” and “Depth”
The interview describes Leo XIV as having “the patience of a saint” and giving answers that are “a whole lot deeper in perspective.” This is the language of the world, which judges by human standards. The true measure of a pope is not his patience or his depth of perspective, but his fidelity to the immutable deposit of faith and his defense of the rights of Christ the King. As Pope Pius XI declared in [FILE: Encyclical Quas Primas – PIUS XI 11.12.1925], “the Church, established by Christ as a perfect society, demands for itself by a right belonging to it, which it cannot renounce, full freedom and independence from secular authority.” The “patience” of Leo XIV is not a virtue; it is a symptom of his refusal to condemn the errors of the conciliar revolution, his refusal to restore the Holy Mass, and his refusal to publicly consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary as demanded by Our Lady of Fatima (a demand that, as the [FILE: False Fatima Apparitions] document argues, has been systematically ignored and reinterpreted by the modernist occupiers of the Vatican).
Bringing People “Back” to the Conciliar Sect
Perhaps the most damning statement in the interview is John Prevost’s claim that “because of him, people are coming back to church.” This is the ultimate goal of the conciliar revolution: to fill the pews of a structure that has abandoned the Faith. But what are they coming back to? They are coming back to a “church” that has embraced the errors of Modernism, as condemned by St. Pius X in [FILE: Lamentabili sane exitu – St. Pius X and the Holy Office – 1907], including the idea that “revelation was merely man’s self-awareness of his relationship to God” (Proposition 20) and that “the dogmas which the Church proposes as revealed are not truths of divine origin but are a certain interpretation of religious facts” (Proposition 22). They are coming back to a “church” that has replaced the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass with a “table of assembly,” a “church” that has embraced false ecumenism and religious liberty, a “church” that is, in the words of the [FILE: Defense of Sedevacantism] document, a “paramasonic structure” and an “abomination of desolation.”
The Illusion of Catholic Education
John Prevost, a former Catholic school teacher and principal, speaks of “the importance of Catholic school education” and the need to “instill and indoctrinate and teach the Catholic faith to the students.” But what is the “Catholic faith” being taught in the conciliar sect’s schools? It is not the faith of the Fathers, the faith of the Councils, the faith of the pre-conciliar Magisterium. It is the faith of the conciliar revolution, a faith that has been “reformed” and “updated” to conform to the spirit of the age. It is a faith that, as the [FILE: Lamentabili sane exitu – St. Pius X and the Holy Office – 1907] document warns, is “incapable of effectively defending evangelical ethics, because it steadfastly adheres to its views, which cannot be reconciled with modern progress” (Proposition 63). To “instill” this faith is not to educate; it is to indoctrinate in error.
The Daily Life of the Usurper’s Brother: A Study in Spiritual Blindness
The interview concludes with a description of John Prevost’s daily life as the brother of the “pope”: playing Wordle and Words with Friends, joking about gifts of Peeps, and feeling “powerless” when people come to him seeking help. This is the life of a man who has no understanding of the gravity of the situation. He is the brother of a usurper, a man who occupies the Chair of Peter without the authority of Christ, and yet he treats it as a normal family affair. He feels “powerless” because he does not understand that true power lies not in the structures of the conciliar sect, but in the immutable Tradition of the Church, in the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass as offered by validly ordained priests, and in the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, whom the conciliar sect has systematically marginalized in favor of a “Marian devotion” that is little more than a sentimental appendage to their naturalistic humanism.
Conclusion: The Normalization of the Abomination
The interview with John Prevost is not a heartwarming family story. It is a chilling portrait of the normalization of the abomination of desolation. It is a portrait of a family, a “church,” and a world that has accepted the conciliar revolution as normal, that has embraced the errors of Modernism as “progress,” and that has abandoned the immutable Faith of Christ for a “faith” that is merely a reflection of the spirit of the age. It is a portrait of a world that has forgotten the words of Our Lord: “If the world hate you, know ye that it hath hated me before you. If you had been of the world, the world would love its own: but because you are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you” (John 15:18-19). The Prevost family, and the conciliar sect they serve, are of the world. And the world loves them for it.
