But Vatican officials told the Post that is precisely the point.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cAn American pope\u2014the first in history\u2014who on July Fourth, the national holiday of the United States, chooses not to celebrate the birth of a nation and its borders but to stand on the wounded threshold of the Mediterranean,\u201d Rev. Antonio Spadaro, undersecretary of the Vatican\u2019s Dicastery for Culture and Education, told the Post. \u201cThis, in itself, is already an unofficial statement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis journey comes at a moment when the United States has made the closing of its doors to migrants a banner, and an American pope knows this all too well,\u201d Spadaro went on. \u201cHis choice is not a head-on polemic\u2014Leo does not point fingers\u2014but a counterpoint. He reminds everyone that the dignity God gives to every person comes before the border.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The White House did not respond to the Daily Beast\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>The pontiff and the Trump administration have repeatedly clashed, including over Trump and Israel\u2019s war in Iran, Israel\u2019s war in Gaza, and, most frequently, the administration\u2019s hardline immigration policies. Just this week, Vice President JD Vance, a Catholic, criticized the pope\u2019s stance on immigration.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2653\">Vulnerable GOP Senator Rocked by Lavish Travel Revelations<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do think that some of the things that have come out of the Vatican on the immigration question in particular have been troubling, and ultimately I disagree with it,\u201d Vance said.<\/p>\n<p>He went on: \u201cWhat I would hope that the Catholic leadership has learned from some of the things that me, and Marco [Rubio] and the president have said about immigration is it\u2019s not just about the dignity of the immigrant, it\u2019s also about the dignity of the native-born people who have had their lives upended.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The pontiff, for his part, has not minced words. Last month, he told reporters that as humans, we \u201cdon\u2019t recognize the reason why these people were forced to leave their home countries. For many reasons\u2014violence, war, conflict.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>He added: \u201cTo simply say, \u2018We\u2019re going to send them away and wash our hands of the problem\u2019 doesn\u2019t seem like the most Christian response.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=2651\">How Trump Has Become the Anti-George Washington<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pope Leo XIV isn\u2019t backing down from his opposition to Donald Trump\u2019s hardline immigration policies.
