Editor’s Note: When someone fakes being the Pope, it is highly likely that he has been faking to be other things too, throughout his life. This is even more likely if his grandfather faked being several different persons during his own life.
Well in regard to the man who claims to be “Pope Leo XIV”, we have already seen many reports where he claimed to be Robert Francis Prevost. His friends from school, however, knew him as Bob Prevost.
Then, we saw reports about his paternal Grandfather, who was “Salvatore Giovanni Gaetano Riggitano”, when presented after birth by his parents in 1876 at Milazzo, in the Kingdom of Italy; but when he emigrated to the United States of America, claimed then, in 1903, to be “Salvatore Giovanni Riggitano Alito”. and “John Alito”, and “John Riggitano” at different times before 1920. But after marrying and dumping his wife, Daisy Huges, at Chicago, Illinois, took the name Jean or John Provost: a name which he kept for the rest of his life as he lived with his Mistress and sired two sons, one of which, Louis Martinus Prevost, we were told was the Father of Robert Francis Prevost.
But now, in the above article, we see that on his Peruvian Citizenship Identity Card, he is claimed to be ” Robert Prevost Martínez“! The “Francis” has disappeared.
“Martínez” was the surname of his mother, Mildred Agnes Martinez, at least when the future Cardinal was born, on his birth certificate.
Does he really have to change his surname, when he becomes a Peruvian Citizen? And when he became one, did he not lose his U. S. Citizenship, since back in the 1980’s that would have been the result of swearing allegiance to another country?
Or is he changing his name for some other reason, like to hide from the Law?
It is true, that among the peoples of Latin America, they often have a double surname, that of the Father and of the Mother. But Prevost’s U.S. documents and passport would not have his Mother’s surname, so why the pretense now? His mother was born in the USA. Her family did not follow such a tradition.
Indeed, in the United States of America, if you change your surname, it usually means other things. Maybe by the time he went to Peru, he was knew that Prevost was not his real paternal surname?
But we can say that Robert, whatever you call him, Riggitano, Prevost or Martinez, is following in his Grandfather’s tradition, of changing his names on documents.
Finally, if Cardinal Prevost knew he was a legitimate pope, he would not be getting or renewing his Peruvian Citizenship, as he would have a Vatican Passport. In this he is following the other South American pretender, of recent memory, who never gave up his Argentinian Passport; he had a canonical irregularity in his priestly ordination, since the Code of Canon Law of 1917 required that you be ordained a Deacon first, before being Ordained a Priest, and there seems to be no historical record he was every ordained a Deacon, or dispensed from that irregularity.
