President Donald Trump criticized Pope Leonard XIII on Sunday night, in an unusual and direct attack against the leader of the 1.4 billion-strong Catholic Church. This attack came as a response to the Pope’s recent critiques of the US-Israeli war with Iran and the Trump administration’s strict immigration policies.
In a message shared on Truth Social, Trump called Leonard “terrible,” criticizing his handling of criminality and foreign policy. Leonard, originally from Chicago, is the first American Pope known for his cautious remarks. He has been outspoken against the war in Iran and advocated for peace.
Last year, the Pope questioned the compatibility of Trump’s strict immigration policies with pro-life teachings of the Church. In a tweet on Sunday, Trump urged Leonard to reclaim his papal title, expressing his disapproval of the Pope.
The United States has imposed a blockade on Iranian ports, disrupting traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. The American military announced this move to block all ports in Iran.
