President Donald Trump said he is “not a big fan” of Pope Leo XIV
He called the pontiff “weak” and “terrible,” issuing an extraordinary public rebuke that questioned the Holy Father’s leadership and motives
In an April 12 post on Truth Social, Trump took aim at Pope Leo across a range of issues on which the Pope has called for peace, portraying him as acting politically and aligning with Trump’s opponents.“Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy,” he wrote.
The president also attacked what he alleged were the Pope’s foreign policy positions, accusing him of being too soft on Iran’s nuclear ambitions and faulting him for criticizing U.S. military action in Venezuela.
“I don't want a Pope who thinks it's OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon,” he wrote. “I don't want a Pope who thinks it's terrible that America attacked Venezuela.”
Trump defended his own record, saying he did not want “a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States,” and arguing he was carrying out the agenda he had been elected to implement “IN A LANDSLIDE.”

So now JD Vance is telling the Pope to be careful talking about theology… got it. Lololol. Bazaaro! Lololol
@8:41...are you Catholic? JD Vance is!
The Pope needs to be concerned about a terrorist nation that has slaughtered 40,000 of its own people and still executing them and building a nuclear bomb to rid Israel, a democracy, and then America...No concern there...just meddling in politics.
As Vance said, “Was God on the side of the Americans who liberated France from the Nazis? Was God on the side of the Americans who liberated Holocaust camps and liberated those, those innocent people, from you know … those who had survived the Holocaust? I certainly think the answer is 'Yes.' ”
The Pope needs to stay in his lane. Trump is being led by God to bring peace to the world and Leo, more than anyone, should know and accept it when God tells him that Trump is his servant. He leads and we follow. Amen.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth read a fake Bible quote from Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 movie Pulp Fiction during a prayer service at the Pentagon on Wednesday.
It was a good quote regardless of where it came.
I don't think you're a Catholic Lynn, so I wouldn't be commenting, or criticizing the Pope. The Pope is God's messenger on Earth. You may not like that, and you may not accept it, but to criticize the leader of the Catholic Church, with over a Billion members is, to put it mildly, a slap in the face to many of your readers, and the city of Lake Worth Beach itself.
Where did I criticize the Pope? I don't answer to you and your phony BS.
You said he was meddling in politics. You were telling him (the Pope) what he needs to be concerned about. Just read your comment, Lynn. How do you so boldly deny something that is right there in black and white for everyone to see? Are you okay?
@8:06...What I said is a fact. The Pope is wrong on this one and now he visited a Mosque and has a prayer room in the Vatican for them. Bizarre. I'm okay; are you okay? Is the Pope okay? Don't think so. And I could care less who is or isn't Catholic here or in Lake Worth. We don't want open borders in this country that the Pope advocates even though he has a 17 foot wall around the Vatican. We don't want enemies of this country who want to nuke us to death in our country. We don't want anything to do with them or the Pope who finds nothing wrong with Iran slaughtering Americans and 40,000 of its own people who want freedom and butting into our foreign policy because of his personal beliefs and sides with a Godless country. Now, that it my opinion even if some of you root against America and oppose and criticize freedom of speech when the opinion is opposite of yours.
