A recent poll reveals that 87% of Americans disapprove of former President Donald Trump's AI-generated image of himself as Jesus, shared on Truth Social. Additionally, 69% of respondents expressed disapproval of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's prayer for 'overwhelming violence' at the Pentagon. In stark contrast, 66% of Americans view Pope Leo XIV favorably, particularly for his message opposing war and the administration's policies. Trump has accused the pontiff of 'endangering Catholics' by supporting Iran's nuclear program, a claim that Pope Leo XIV has denied, reaffirming the Church's opposition to nuclear weapons. Experts have criticized Hegseth's religious language, suggesting it could undermine the separation of church and state and escalate conflicts, especially as Secretary of State Marco Rubio prepares for a meeting with Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican.
