Strange situation for Them: The heads of the families that gave birth to a Pontiff and their legitimate consorts enjoy the treatment of &quot;excellence&quot; and the title of Prince, also given to the heads of the Roman princely families. Regardless of their titles, the heads of the papal families have traditionally been considered - continues, monsignor Karel Kasteel, as &quot;peers&quot; by the &quot;sovereign families&quot;, this courtesy being due to the fact that the sovereign pontiff is recognized as pater principum et regum by the Christian monarchs and as the representative of the first and most ancient Christian monarchy...

Pope Leo comes from a really wholesome family. Love watching the brothers talk about their little brother. I love our new Pope already, from the moment he stepped into that family and had that kindest smile.

Seen his brother, I like Pope Leo even more. It seems sweetness and good humor is a family trait. <br>I am very happy to have an American Pope for Peru and for USA. God bless Pope Leo XIV. I hope he finds some time for his brothers…
