Trump and Vance feud with Pope

The public feud between President Donald Trump and Pope Leo XIV has reached a new peak following the president's social media posts seemingly comparing himself to a divine figure.

Vice President JD Vance, a Catholic convert, further stoked tensions by suggesting the Pope does not understand the Church's 'just war' doctrine.

The Vatican has responded by clarifying that centuries-old theological frameworks do not apply to modern conflicts involving advanced drone technology and mass civilian casualties.

This unprecedented clash has divided Catholic voters and drawn rebukes from both Democratic and some Republican lawmakers.
