Minnesota Bishop Robert Barron, a member of Trump's Religious Liberty Commission, who faced criticism in the past for his engagement with the Trump administration, broke his silence on President Donald Trump's attack on Pope Leo XIV and said the statements were inappropriate and disrespectful.
Trump on Monday blasted the first American pope in a lengthy Truth Social post, accusing him of being “WEAK on Crime” and “terrible for Foreign Policy.” He added that he doesn’t “want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States.” “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 said.
