Trump Feuds With Pope Leo
The dispute reached a new low after Trump shared an AI-generated image of himself as a Christ-like figure, which drew sharp criticism from both the Vatican and domestic Catholic leaders.
During a visit to Cameroon, Pope Leo XIV denounced 'tyrants' who manipulate religion to justify military and economic gain.
The White House has since retaliated by canceling a multi-million dollar contract with Catholic Charities.
This ongoing friction is causing significant unease among Catholic voters in the United States ahead of the midterm elections.
