WASHINGTON – Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, issued a brief response to a social media post by President Trump on Sunday evening.

“I am disheartened that the President chose to write such disparaging words about the Holy Father. Pope Leo is not his rival; nor is the Pope a politician. He is the Vicar of Christ who speaks from the truth of the Gospel and for the care of souls.”
