The post followed earlier backlash over another AI image that evoked Jesus healing the sick and drew criticism from some Republicans and Catholics.
- President Donald Trump escalated his feud with Pope Leo XIV on Wednesday by resharing an AI-generated image showing him embraced by Jesus, following his April 12 Truth Social post calling the pontiff "WEAK on Crime."

- During a speech in Cameroon on Thursday, His Holiness warned against those who "manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic and political gain." The Pope continues his anti-war messaging.
