Bishop Robert Barron said Monday that President Donald Trump owes Pope Leo XIV<\/a> an apology after Trump posted a scathing message about Leo in a Truth Social post.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The statements made by President Trump on Truth Social regarding the Pope were entirely inappropriate and disrespectful,” Barron said in an X post. “They don\u2019t contribute at all to a constructive conversation. It is the Pope\u2019s prerogative to articulate Catholic doctrine and the principles that govern the moral life. In regard to the concrete application of those principles, people of good will can and do disagree.”<\/p>\n

“I would warmly recommend that serious Catholics within the Trump administration \u2014 Secretary Rubio, Vice President Vance, Ambassador Brian Burch, and others \u2014 might meet with Vatican officials so that a real dialogue can take place,” he continued. “This is far preferable to the statements on social media.”<\/p>\n

“I am very grateful for the many ways that the Trump administration has reached out to Catholics and other people of faith,” Barron added. “It has been a high honor to serve on the Religious Liberty Commission<\/a>. No President in my lifetime has shown a greater dedication to defending our first liberty. All that said, I think the President owes the Pope an apology.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Barron\u2019s response was to a Sunday Truth Social post<\/a> from Trump where the president called Pope Leo out for his stance on foreign policy and the Iran war.<\/p>\n

“Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy<\/a>,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “He talks about \u2018fear\u2019 of the Trump Administration, but doesn\u2019t mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church, and all other Christian Organizations, had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside, and being ten and even twenty feet apart.”<\/p>\n

Trump went on to say that he likes Louis Prevost, Pope Leo XIV’s brother, more than the pope.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I like his brother Louis much better than I like him, because Louis is all MAGA,” the president wrote. “He gets it, and Leo doesn\u2019t! I don\u2019t want a Pope who thinks it\u2019s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon. I don\u2019t want a Pope who thinks it\u2019s terrible that America attacked Venezuela, a Country that was sending massive amounts of Drugs into the United States and, even worse, emptying their prisons, including murderers, drug dealers, and killers, into our Country.”<\/p>\n

Trump also defended himself, saying he is doing what he was elected to do.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“And I don\u2019t want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States<\/a> because I\u2019m doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do, setting Record Low Numbers in Crime, and creating the Greatest Stock Market in History,” Trump said. “Leo should be thankful because, as everyone knows, he was a shocking surprise. He wasn\u2019t on any list to be Pope, and was only put there by the Church because he was an American, and they thought that would be the best way to deal with President Donald J. Trump.”<\/p>\n

The president added, “If I wasn\u2019t in the White House, Leo wouldn\u2019t be in the Vatican. Unfortunately, Leo\u2019s Weak on Crime, Weak on Nuclear Weapons, does not sit well with me, nor does the fact that he meets with Obama Sympathizers like David Axelrod, a LOSER from the Left, who is one of those who wanted churchgoers and clerics to be arrested.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Leo should get his act together as Pope<\/a>, use Common Sense, stop catering to the Radical Left, and focus on being a Great Pope, not a Politician. It\u2019s hurting him very badly and, more importantly, it\u2019s hurting the Catholic Church! President DONALD J. TRUMP,” Trump wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pope Leo XIV told reporters on Monday that he is unafraid of Trump<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I have no fear of the Trump administration,” Pope Leo told reporters on the papal plane traveling to Algeria.<\/p>\n

Pope Leo added, “The message of the church, my message, the message of the Gospel<\/a>: Blessed are the Peacemakers. I do not look at my role as being political, a politician.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital<\/a> reached out to the White House for comment and was referred back to Trump\u2019s Truth Social post.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
