Pope slams 'tyrants' in Cameroon
The Pope's comments in Douala and Bamenda represent a significant shift in his public speaking style as he steps more firmly onto the world stage.
He urged Cameroon's youth to resist the temptations of corruption and violence, using his African tour to reclaim moral values he suggests have been manipulated for political ends.
The ongoing feud with the Trump administration centers on the Pope's opposition to the war in Iran and his calls for global peace.
This unusually direct rhetoric has resonated in Catholic communities across the United States, further polarizing the political and religious landscape.
