WASHINGTON. President Donald Trump publicly criticized Pope Leo XIV this week after the pontiff condemned U.S. and Israeli military actions in the Iran war; Trump posted a social-media message and an AI-generated image and spoke to reporters on Monday and Tuesday, accusing the U.S.-born pope of being 'WEAK' on crime and foreign policy. Washington reaction included clerical rebukes and political concern: Denver Archbishop James R. Golka called Trump's comments unacceptable, Pope Leo reiterated his stance, and analysts warned on Tuesday that the dispute risks alienating religious-right voters ahead of November midterm elections; both sides continued issuing statements and media coverage intensified.
