Bishop Robert Barron has strongly criticised President Donald Trump’s recent comments on Pope Leo.
In a statement released the morning after the president’s remarks, the bishop of the Diocese of Winona–Rochester and founder of Word on Fire Ministries said that Trump’s comments were “entirely inappropriate and disrespectful”.
He added that they “don’t contribute at all to a constructive conversation” and that “it is the Pope’s prerogative to articulate Catholic doctrine and the principles that govern the moral life”.
