Pope Leo XIV told reporters Monday morning that he was unafraid of the Trump administration, hours after President Trump lashed out at the pontiff on social media. Leo, speaking to reporters on a flight to Algeria, said: “I have no fear neither of the Trump administration, nor of speaking out loudly about the message of the Gospel.” Asked directly about Trump’s comments on Truth Social, Leo said: “It’s ironic — the name of the site itself. Say no more.”
