Trump attacks Pope

Trump criticises Pope Leo over Iran War

The US president has rebuked the pontiff over his criticism of the Iran war.

US President Donald Trump has criticized Pope Leo XIV, calling him “weak” and saying he should be grateful for his appointment as head of the Catholic Church, after the pontiff blasted his policies.

Pope Leo has emerged as a critic of the US-Israeli attack against Iran launched in late February. He has described Trump’s threat to destroy Iranian civilization as “truly unacceptable,” saying it amounts to “a threat against the entire people.” He has also called for “deep reflection” on the treatment of migrants in the US.

In a post on Truth Social on Sunday, Trump, who welcomed Leo’s election last May as a “great honor” for the country, said the pontiff is “WEAK on CRIME, and terrible for Foreign Policy,” adding that he would prefer his “all MAGA” brother Louis, referring to Louis Prevost, the pope’s brother, a US-based figure known for his pro-Trump views.



“Don’t want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I’m doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do, setting Record Low Numbers in Crime, and creating the Greatest Stock Market in History,” Trump wrote.

He added that “Leo should be thankful because, as everyone knows, he was a shocking surprise,” claiming that he was chosen solely for being American and was perceived as “the best way to deal with President Donald J. Trump.”

Later on Sunday, speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump repeated his criticism, calling the Pope “a liberal person” who does not believe in “stopping crime,” adding: “I don’t think he’s doing a very good job… I’m not a big fan of Pope Leo.”

The Pope has intensified his calls for peace and a return to diplomacy. He pushed back against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who urged Americans to pray for victory “in the name of Jesus Christ,” saying God “does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war.”

On Friday, Leo wrote on X that “God does not bless any conflict” and that “no cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.” He repeated the appeal a day later at a Vatican vigil, calling for prayers to “break the demonic cycle of evil.”

  1. The Vatican is sitting on a whole lot of secret archives. If the Pope and the Catholic Church wants to be taken seriously, they sould fully open the doors to this long held truthful history.

    In my view, withholding, the truth is exactly the same as misleading.

  2. Better watch out, Donnie-Boy; the Catholics in the U.S. swear allegiance to the Pope ofRome firstly, and to their ‘country of origin’ lastly!
    If a Roman Catholic is told to rise-up against his or her government by the Pontiff, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY WILL DO!
    This oath to the Pope of Rome occurs at ‘confirmation’…
    Just ask former gone-rogue Dr. Alberto Rivero OH! I FORGOT! The Jesuits assassinated him for revealing the corruption of that order and the Catholic Clergy!

    Note on the below; ‘Billy Joel’ is actually…J3WI$H..!

    Although Joel’s parents were Jewish, he did not grow up in the religion. Joel stated: “I was not brought up Jewish in any religious way. My circumcision was as Jewish as they got.”[33] He attended a Roman Catholic church with friends. At age 11, Joel was baptized in a Church of Christ in Hicksville. He now identifies as a Jewish atheist.[7][34][35][36][37]

    WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?..

  4. This version of D. Trump is truly obnoxious. To picture himself as Jesus Christ while ordering the destruction of the Middle East in its entirety can only be described as blasphemous.

    • Have you ever heard of the crusades?

      Blasphemous…lol.

      The Middle East is filled with Talmud and Koran readers who utterly hate Christianity. Trump’s meme is stupid, fine. If you wanna argue THAT point I’ll grant it, but the pearl clutching from everyone is a bit much.

      I’ll not be lectured on Christianity by Jews, Muslims, and literal satanists in Washington, the EU and western media. Nope

  5. The spider in the centre of this parasitic web, with the objective of total control over the world, its resources, and its people, began spinning its wealth extractive/slavery web after the great schism of 1054 AD. It infiltrated England in 1066 (chartered City of London Corporation 1067), set up its base, then infiltrated the rest of the world under the guise of the British Empire.
    This is the Holy Roman Empire (Corporation) aka, the Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire (currently House of Bourbon) Roman Curia, Roman Catholic Church, Church Military Orders (Knights of Malta/Jesuits) and European Dynasties (Royal Houses). This is the enemy and it has nothing to do with spirituality. It is the demonic cycle of evil.
