Vance Says Pope Should Stay Out Of US Affairs Amid Trump Clash. Vice President JD Vance said the pope should stay out of American political affairs. Vance, the highest-ranking Catholic in the U.S. government, defended Donald Trump amid his criticism of Pope Leo XIV. He suggested the Vatican should focus on moral and church matters rather than U.S. policy. Vance said clashes between political leaders and the pope are “not that big of a deal”. The remarks come after Trump called the pope “weak on crime” and “terrible for foreign policy”. Tensions between Washington and the Vatican have grown over issues including war and immigration. Catholic leaders in the U.S. have also criticized the administration, particularly over migrant policies. Pope Leo has vowed to continue speaking out, saying he has “no fear” of the Trump administration.
