Guterres defends Pope Leo XIV after Trump\u2019s criticism<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cBut the heart of our Father is not with the wicked, the arrogant, the proud; the heart of God is with the small and the humble. With them, He advances His Kingdom of love and peace,\u201d Leo XIV said, one day after U.S. President Donald Trump accused him of being \u201cweak\u201d in foreign policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am happy because God dwells here, because where there is love and service, there is God. I think that the Lord, from heaven, seeing a house like this, where people seek to live together in fraternity, can think: there is hope! Yes, because the heart of God is torn apart by wars, violence, injustices and lies,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pope Leo XIV\u2019s visit to Algeria began on Monday, marked by Trump\u2019s remarks criticizing the pontiff, urging him to stop \u201cappeasing the radical left\u201d and calling him \u201cweak\u201d and \u201cterrible in foreign policy,\u201d in reference to the pope\u2019s criticism of the war in Iran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This comes in addition to the publication of an AI-created image in which the Trump appears portraying Jesus Christ and apparently healing a sick person lying in a bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the plane to Algiers, the U.S.-born pope responded by saying he was not \u201cafraid\u201d of the Trump administration and that he would continue to strongly raise his voice against war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Tuesday, the president of the Spanish Episcopal Conference (CEE), Luis Arg\u00fcello, rebuked Trump\u2019s attacks against Leo XIV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI want to once again express communion with the pope, support for the pope, and to push back against such crude attacks,\u201d Arg\u00fcello said, recalling that Leo XIV \u201chas sought to make peace in the world and the search for concrete means for peace one of the guiding lines of his pontificate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
