Trump vs. Pope Leo feud

The conflict began several months ago when Pope Leo issued a series of statements questioning the necessity of the U.S. military operations in the Middle East.

President Trump responded by suggesting that the Pope is a 'run-of-the-mill Democrat' and has even canceled a multi-million dollar contract with a Catholic charity in retaliation.

The feud has sparked a significant backlash among Catholic voters and has been mocked by late-night hosts like Stephen Colbert.

Theologians believe the clash raises important questions about the role of religious leaders in global politics and the application of 'just war' doctrine in the modern era.
