Pope Leo denounces world 'tyrants'

Pope Leo has denied that his 'handful of tyrants' speech was specifically aimed at the US president, maintaining that it was written prior to Trump's initial outbursts.

The escalating feud between the two leaders has created a sense of conflict among Catholic Trump supporters, particularly in the US. The Pope's 11-day tour has focused on the continent's rapid growth within the Church and the need to address systemic corruption.

This confrontation pits a global spiritual authority against a vision of nationalistic temporal power.
