Trump and Pope clash over war

The unprecedented feud between the White House and the Vatican reached a new peak after President Trump posted an AI-generated image of himself as a Christ-like figure.

Pope Leo XIV has responded by emphasizing a moral path that rejects the use of bombs and swords, drawing sharp rebukes from Vice President JD Vance.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has expressed full solidarity with the Pope, further straining her relationship with the Trump administration.

The clash has unsettled many conservative Catholic voters in the U.S. as the midterm elections approach.
