Pope Rebukes Trump's War Rhetoric

Speaking to bishops of the Chaldean Catholic Church, the Pope emphasized that divinity does not side with those who drop bombs or seek to wipe out civilizations.

While he did not name the President directly, the remarks follow a week of escalating tension between the Vatican and the White House over the Middle East conflict.

The Pope's comments have highlighted a growing rift between the administration and its Catholic constituency.

Despite the criticism, the White House has denied reports that officials have issued threats toward the pontiff, maintaining that the President remains focused on securing a lasting regional peace.
