Johnson said "a pontiff or any religious leader can say anything they want. But obviously, if you wade into political waters, I think you should expect some political response. And I think the popes receive some of that."
Pope Leo XIV, history's first American-born pope doubled down Wednesday as US President Donald Trump’s criticism showed no sign of letting up, insisting that the message "the world needs to hear today” is one of peace and dialogue.
Trump’s attacks on Leo began after the pope amplified criticism of war and asserted that God doesn’t bless those who drop bombs. Leo also called Trump’s threat to annihilate Iranian civilization “truly unacceptable.”
