Trump

President Donald Trump’s social media and verbal attacks on Pope Leo XIV could add to challenges facing Republican candidates in the midterm elections later this year, analysts told OSV News.  

A look at this week in Washington.

Pope Leo has been a staunch critic of combat operations generally, including those initiated by the U.S. and Israel against Iran on Feb. 28.

Speaking to journalists at Castel Gandolfo April 7, and without naming Trump, Pope Leo called the president’s threat “truly unacceptable.”
