Trump tore into the pope on Sunday evening, denouncing his stance on the Iran war and saying he’s “terrible for foreign policy.”

CNN White House correspondent Alayna Treene, CNN Vatican correspondent Christopher Lamb and “Letters From Leo” publisher, Christopher Hale, have more on the spat between Trump and Pope Leo.
