The second Trump administration is facing significant backlash from Christian clergy for its immigration policies and treatment of religious leaders. After a national prayer service, President Trump berated Washington's Episcopal bishop for advocating mercy, indicating a broader discord between right-wing politics and religious institutions. Catholic leaders uphold a legacy of advocating for immigrants, a stance that conflicts with the administration's deportation strategies. High-profile Catholic figures like Pope Francis and Cardinal McElroy have condemned Trump's approach, sparking tension that Vice-President J.D. Vance now exacerbates by challenging his own Church's stance on immigration.
...the second Trump administration is off to a very bad start when it comes to respect for Christian clergy, at least when they aren't leading cheers for the 47th president.
On the very eve of Trump's inauguration, Pope Francis called Trump's mass-deportation plan 'disgraceful' because 'it makes the poor wretches who have nothing pay the bill.'
