Trump attacks Pope over war

The unprecedented rift between the White House and the Vatican has caused significant unease among Catholic voters and Republican lawmakers.

Pope Leo XIV, the first American-born pontiff, has consistently condemned the war in Iran and criticized the humanitarian cost of the US naval blockade.

Vice President JD Vance has defended the administration's stance, suggesting the Pope should 'be careful' when discussing matters of theology and foreign policy.

The conflict reached a fever pitch when Trump's AI Jesus post was widely denounced as blasphemous by religious leaders across the political spectrum.
