Pope Leo XIV has appointed three new bishops who have previously criticized the Trump administration or its supporters amid his apparent feud with the White House.
Pope Leo has criticized President Donald Trump’s war with Iran, called his threat to annihilate Iranian civilization “truly unacceptable,” and said he’s not afraid of his administration. The president has called Leo “weak on crime and terrible for foreign policy,” while Vice President JD Vance, who is Catholic, has said the pope should be “careful when he talks about matters of theology.”
