Pope: If anyone wants to criticize me, let them do it with the truth.

Castel Gandolfo, May 6 (askanews) – “I have spoken from the first moment of my election, and now we are approaching the anniversary. I said: peace be with you. The Church's mission is to preach the Gospel, to preach peace. If anyone wants to criticize me for proclaiming the Gospel, let them do so with the truth. For years, the Church has spoken out against all nuclear weapons, so there is no doubt about it.

And so I simply hope to be listened to for the value of God's words." This is how Pope Leo XIV responded from Castel Gandolfo to those who asked him about the criticisms that US President Donald Trump has leveled against him again today.
