Pope Francis and Cardinal Prevost: A surprising story of their relationship. Rome, Italy. A recently surfaced video reveals an unexpected anecdote about the relationship between Pope Francis and Cardinal Prevost. In 2023, Prevost shared with Peruvian faithful that he and the then-Cardinal Bergoglio had disagreements, even expressing doubts about his own future as a bishop after Bergoglio's election. "We didn't always agree; when he was elected, I thought I could never become a bishop. Instead..." Prevost said. Despite their differences, months later, Pope Francis invited Prevost to preside over a significant mass. This act surprised many, as Prevost recounts, "Everyone told me the Pope would never do something like that." The video, originally posted on X by "Silere non possum," highlights the unexpected nature of their relationship and the Pope's eventual appointment of Prevost as Bishop of Chiclayo. The story underscores the complexities of human relationships, even within the highest echelons of the Catholic Church.
