As Catholic cardinals prepare for a conclave to choose a new pope, President Trump's AI-generated image depicting him as the pope drew sharp criticism from various church leaders, politicians, and organizations. The New York State Catholic Conference expressed offense, emphasizing the solemnity of the moment following Pope Francis's passing. Cardinal Arborelius and former Italian Prime Minister Renzi characterized the image as disrespectful, with concerns over Trump's mockery of religious institutions and the potential for offending believers. Some factions within the Catholic community, however, expressed differing opinions on the matter.
I hope he didn't have anything to do with that... It wasn't good. The Italians say, 'brutta figura,' meaning it makes a 'bad impression.'
