Trump vs. Pope Leo XIV

The conflict began after the Pope criticized certain administration policies, leading Trump to label the pontiff 'weak on crime.' Catholic bishops across the country, including the Bishop of Palm Beach, have condemned the President's comments as disrespectful and violent.

Vance has attempted to bridge the divide by calling for prayers for the Pope, even as he defends Trump’s 'creative' negotiating style.

The feud is particularly significant as it threatens to alienate a key voting bloc ahead of the midterm elections.
