Donald Trump and Pope Leo are far from friends. As late as Thursday, the Holy Father criticized the “tyrants” who spend billions on war, not naming Trump directly. Meanwhile, the President of the United States has issued a nuclear warning to Pope Leo, saying he refuses to meet with him.
Donald Trump and Pope Leo XIV have been criticizing each other over the last week. Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance has also joined the conversation and warned the Holy Father earlier this week of being too vocal on “matters of theology.”
President Donald Trump previously said that the pope was soft on crime, adding that he doesn’t like him. Meanwhile, at the moment, Pope Leo is in Africa on tour, and issued scathing criticism towards those “tyrants” who spend billions on war.
Earlier on Thursday, U.S bishops proclaimed their full support for Pope Leo. The American-born pontiff didn’t mention Donald Trump by name, but his speech on Cameron on Thursday was clearly aimed at those world leaders who invoke religion to justify violence against other nations.
“Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth,” Leo said while speaking at the Saint Joseph Cathedral in the city of Bamenda, Cameroon, according to The Guardian.
