“I don't plan to get involved in party politics. "That is not the purpose of the Church," the US-born pontiff said.

“In one of my last conversations with the vice president of the United States, I have not had direct conversations with the president, nor have I met him, I spoke about human dignity and how important it is for all people, wherever they are born, and I hope that we find a way to respect human beings, including in the policies that we pursue and in the decisions that we make," the head of the Roman Catholic Church said.
“It is clear that some things are happening in the United States that are disturbing,“ he stressed. the pope.
“We continue to seek ways to at least answer and raise some of the questions that need to be asked,“ said Leo XIV.
