Pope Leo XIV denounces tyrants

Wrapping up his visit to Cameroon and heading to Angola, the first American-born pope has positioned himself as a global moral counterweight to the White House.

Leo XIV's speeches have specifically targeted leaders who exploit natural resources and use religion to justify military aggression.

The Vatican's stance has polarized the American Catholic voting bloc, creating a unique theological debate over the concept of a 'just war.' In Angola, the pontiff is expected to address the legacy of slavery and the ongoing exploitation of the continent's wealth.
