Pope Leo Praises Europe's Democracy in Contrast to Trump
Original: Pope Leo Praises Europe’s Democracy, Diverging Once Again From Trump
Pope Leo is praising Europe's democratic institutions, in remarks that put him at odds with President Trump, who has often criticized European governments. The exchange highlights a growing distance between the Vatican and the White House on questions of governance and liberal democracy. Commentators see the pontiff's comments as a deliberate signal of support for the European project at a tense moment in transatlantic relations.
Why now: The new pope is positioning himself as a counterweight to Trump on democracy, drawing wide attention.
