Documentary on Antipope Prevost’s Roots Promotes Apostasy
Vatican News portal (November 8, 2025) announces the release of “Leo from Chicago,” a documentary produced by the “Dicastery for Communication” about the family background and early life of Robert Francis Prevost (“Leo XIV”). The film features interviews with his biological brothers and acquaintances, framing his upbringing in Dolton (Chicago) as formative for his “Augustinian vocation.” This production follows “León de Perú” about Prevost’s missionary work, both created to mark six months since his election as antipope. The documentary will be distributed globally through Vatican media channels on November 10.
