US Catholics Unsettled by Trump's Feud with Pope
The dispute has divided American Catholics and raised concerns about Republican votes as Trump faces criticism over a deleted AI Jesus image.
- President Donald Trump and Pope Leo XIV are locked in a public feud, clashing over the president's approach to the Iran war and immigration, with the pontiff recently responding that he has "no fear" of the Trump administration.
- Trump faced criticism this week for a now-deleted social media post featuring an AI-generated image depicting him as Jesus Christ, which Former Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene described as "blasphemy."
- Outside a New York City church on Friday, 88-year-old Jim Supp told AFP, "For an ignoramus like Trump to try to question the theological outlook of an ordained priest is totally ridiculous," while Catholic commentator Christopher Hale noted months of slow escalation.
- Republicans face potential vulnerability ahead of November's midterms, as American Catholics—a key voting bloc—have expressed anger, though some view the president's intentions as good despite his controversial approach to sensitive topics.
- Pope Leo XIV strongly condemned the conflict in the Middle East and the "delusion of omnipotence" he believes caused it, claiming this led to "absurd and inhuman violence," as the two leaders remain starkly divided over the Iran war.
