Vance to Pope: "Stay Out of American Politics"

U.S. Vice President Mike Vance, a Catholic, has told Pope Leo to stop commenting on U.S. affairs. He made the statement while defending President Trump. President Trump recently called the pontiff "too liberal" and "weak on crime." In response, Pope Leo said he has "no fear of the Trump administration." The exchange highlights rising tensions between the U.S. administration and the Vatican.
