Pope Leo says he regrets remarks seen as clash with Trump

Pope Leo XIV has said he regrets that some of his recent comments were interpreted as a response to criticism from US President Donald Trump. He stressed that he is not interested in entering into any kind of public debate with the American leader. Speaking to journalists on his flight to Angola, the pope referred to a speech he delivered in Cameroon about tyrants ransacking the world. He explained that the remarks were written long before Trump said he was not a big fan of the pope. Despite this, Pope Leo noted that many people assumed his words were aimed at Trump. He said it was perceived as if he wanted to start a new argument with the president, which he insisted is not his intention. The pope’s clarification comes amid increased media attention on his comments about global politics […]

Israel restores church access after Palm Sunday row

Israel’s leadership has reversed course after a controversial incident involving access to one of Christianity’s holiest sites during a sensitive religious period. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa will now be granted “full and immediate access” to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, following earlier restrictions that prevented him from holding Palm Sunday Mass. The decision to block the cardinal had sparked widespread criticism internationally. The site, believed to mark the crucifixion, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, holds deep significance for Christians worldwide. According to Israeli authorities, the restriction was initially imposed due to security concerns. Netanyahu stated that the Old City of Jerusalem had been under threat from missile attacks linked to Iran, and limiting access to religious sites was intended to protect worshippers. However, the move drew sharp reactions. Mike Huckabee described the […]

 Pope Leo condemns Gaza suffering in first Christmas sermon

Pope Leo XIV has used his first Christmas Day sermon to denounce the harsh living conditions facing Palestinians in Gaza, drawing a direct link between the biblical story of Jesus’ birth in a stable and the tents now sheltering displaced families. He asked how people could not think of Gaza’s makeshift shelters, exposed for weeks to rain, wind and cold. Leo, the first pope from the United States, usually keeps his Christmas homilies focused on spiritual themes but made an unusually pointed appeal on the situation in Gaza this year. He has repeatedly said that any lasting solution to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict must include the creation of a Palestinian state. The pope noted that, despite a ceasefire agreed in October between Israel and Hamas after two years of intense Israeli military operations, humanitarian groups say too little aid is reaching […]
