Pope Leo responds to president’s insults: ‘I have no fear of the Trump administration’
President Donald Trump wrote that the first U.S.-born pontiff was “weak” and “terrible” on crime and foreign policy, while taking credit for his election as bishop of Rome.Leo responded to Trump’s comments Monday morning aboard a flight to Algeria for a 10-day papal visit to Africa. “I have no fear of the Trump administration, or speaking out loudly of the message of the Gospel, which is what I believe I am here to do,” he told journalists on the plane.
“I don’t want to get into a debate with him,” he added. “I don’t think that the message of the Gospel is meant to be abused in the way that some people are doing.”
