Brothers in Arms

While Robert became pope, his brothers took equally extraordinary paths - Carlos as a doctor serving Navajo reservations, and Anthony as a climate scientist. The trio's annual "Prevost Summit" (now held at Castel Gandolfo) tackles global issues with their unique blend of spirituality and pragmatism. "We debate like the old neighborhood basketball games - lots of elbows," jokes Pope Leo XIV. Carlos's medical work inspired the Vatican's new telehealth initiative for remote missions, while Anthony's climate models inform the eco-encyclical. Their childhood promise - "Whoever makes it, pulls up the others" - manifests in the pope's insistence that "service isn't solo work." When critics accuse the pontiff of favoring family ideas, he retorts: "Read Acts - the Church began with siblings arguing in an upper room."
