Pope Leo XIV Slams War 'Tyrants'
Pope Leo used his four-nation Africa tour to call for a 'decisive change of course' toward peace and an end to the uneven distribution of wealth.
His forceful new speaking style has riled the Trump administration, which has used religious language to justify its military campaign.
The Pope's brother in the United States was also targeted by a bomb threat, further intensifying the personal nature of the conflict.
Despite the political pressure, the Vatican reported that the Pope has 'no fear' of the current US administration.
