“Leo should get his act together as Pope, use Common Sense, stop catering to the Radical Left, and focus on being a Great Pope, not a Politician,” Trump posted on Truth Social Sunday night. “It’s hurting him very badly and, more importantly, it’s hurting the Catholic Church!”
The Pope has avoided specifically referring to Trump in his criticism. But the Bishop of Rome again alluded to war in a prayer vigil at St. Peter’s Basilica on Saturday. “Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war!” the Pope said on April 11, the same day as U.S. and Iranian officials began unsuccessful peace negotiations in Islamabad, Pakistan.
Trump also attacked the Pope over his denunciation of the violence in the Middle East and the U.S. military campaign in Venezuela that captured its former President Nicolás Maduro earlier this year.
The President also added that he favored Leo’s brother, Louis Prevost, whom he called “all MAGA.” Prevost has previously said that he was a “MAGA type.”
At Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on Sunday, Trump doubled down on his attacks—telling reporters that he was “not a big fan” of the Pope, whom he deemed a “very liberal person.”
The U.S. President and his Administration have used the Christian God to justify the war on Iran. A week ago, when asked if he thinks God approved of the U.S.’s actions against Iran and the Islamic regime, Trump replied: “I do—because God is good and God wants to see people taken care of.”
In an April 10 post on social media, the Pope wrote, “God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs.” And in his Palm Sunday homily in March, the Pope said that God “does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war.”
Catholics make up a large part of the U.S. voting population, and an AP VoteCast survey found that more than 50% of Catholic voters supported Trump in the November 2024 election. But Catholic leaders have been increasingly vocal against the war.
“Pope Leo is not his rival; nor is the Pope a politician,” Coakley said. “He is the Vicar of Christ who speaks from the truth of the Gospel and for the care of souls.”
