Rips those who ‘manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic and political gain’
By Bob Unruh
The pope has escalated his feud with President Donald Trump, specifically his immigration policies that involve enforcing the nation’s border and immigration laws, amid what analysts are calling a campaign for votes.
The Washington Examiner said Pope Leo XIV, on a trip to Africa, complained that the world is being “ravaged by tyrants.”
The report noted this was “after engaging this week in a feud with President Donald Trump over the war in Iran.”
“The world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants, yet it is held together by a multitude of supportive brothers and sisters,” the pope said.
He’s now touring four nations in Africa, and urged officials in Cameroon, where a civil war has killed 65,000 recently, to break “the chains of corruption.”
He also lashed out at those who “manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.”
