Pope Leo XIV Faces Backlash Over Past Trump, Vance Criticisms After Election
The newly elected American Pope Leo XIV, formerly Cardinal Robert Prevost, has drawn attention for his past social media criticisms of President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, particularly regarding their stances on immigration and interpretations of Christianity. His posts, resurfacing after his election, sparked backlash from MAGA supporters who branded him "anti-MAGA" and "woke." Despite this, Trump publicly congratulated Pope Leo XIV and expressed eagerness to meet him, calling it a "very meaningful moment." Pope Leo XIV has emphasized unity and bridge-building in his first address, advocating for dialogue and charity. His critiques align with those of the late Pope Francis, especially concerning immigration policies and the ranking of love in Christian doctrine, which Vance defended but Pope Leo XIV challenged. The new pontiff has used social media cautiously, recognizing its potential to both communicate the Gospel and fuel division.
