On Sunday, President Donald Trump posted an unprecedented attack on Pope Leo XIV on his social media platform, Truth Social, calling the Holy Father “WEAK on crime” and captive to the “Radical Left.” When asked about the diatribe the next day, Pope Leo said he had “no fear” of the Trump administration and would continue to boldly proclaim the Gospel of peace.
In a special America Media roundtable conversation, Sam Sawyer, editor in chief of America magazine, Ashley McKinless, co-host of the “Jesuitical” podcast, and Colleen Dulle, co-host of “Inside the Vatican,” react to Trump’s criticism of the Holy Father and provide context for the growing chasm between the White House and the Vatican.
