Pope Blasts 'Tyrants' During Africa Tour

During the second leg of his four-country tour of Africa, the American-born pontiff preached a message of peace in the epicenter of Cameroon's separatist conflict.

His comments follow a series of attacks from the White House, where President Trump labeled the Pope 'weak on crime' and 'terrible on foreign policy.' Leo XIV urged leaders to root out corruption and resist the 'whims of the rich and powerful' instead of funding military aggression.

The standoff has divided the Catholic community in the U.S., with some bishops now weighing in on the definition of a 'just war.'
