The Vatican has responded to President Donald Trump's attacks on Pope Leo XIV. In a post on X, priest Antonio Spadaro writes that the Pope speaks a different language than that of politicians.
“Donald Trump takes aim at Pope Leo XIV and in doing so reveals a deeper concern. When political power turns against a moral voice, it is often because it cannot cope with it. Trump does not discuss Leo; he begs him to return to a language he can control. But the Pope speaks another language, one that cannot be transformed into the grammar of force, security or national interest.
In this sense, the attack is a declaration of impotence. Unable to absorb that voice, power tries to delegitimize it. Yet in doing so, it implicitly acknowledges its weight. If Leone were insignificant, he would not deserve a word. On the contrary, he is mentioned, named, opposed, a sign that his words matter.
Here the moral force of the Church appears. Not as a counter-power, but as a space in which power is judged by a standard that does not control it. Leone does not respond to the terrain of polemics and for this very reason remains outside its reach. He is free. And this freedom, unarmed and disarming, is perhaps what is most disturbing. At the same time, what matters most,” writes Antonio Spadaro.
Pope Leo himself told Reuters that he plans to continue speaking out against the war, following a direct attack by US President Donald Trump on the head of the Church of 1.4 billion believers.
In comments made on board the plane to Algiers, where he is embarking on a 10-day tour of four African countries, the Pope also stressed that the Christian message is being "misused."
"I will continue to speak out strongly against war, seeking to promote peace, dialogue and multilateral relations between states to find just solutions to problems. Many people are suffering in the world today," the Pope added.
