Kansas City Archbishop Stands With Pope Amid MAGA Dispute

A word from a local cleric after the Prez might or might not have been claiming he was Jesus or a very fancily dressed doctor . . . Check-it: 

Archbishop Shawn McKnight of the Catholic Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas made a statement on social media following the president’s comments, urging unity and calling for civil leadership. McKnight emphasized the need for peace and honoring the dignity of human life.

“I am deeply troubled by the recent exchange between President Trump and Pope Leo XIV regarding the pope’s call to end the war in Iran.

The Holy Father is fulfilling his moral duty, as a pastor and not a politician, to promote peace in the world. The retaliatory tone of the President’s response risks deepening division when we need unity. Even in heated disagreement, leadership should be civil, honoring the inherent dignity of the other made in the image and likeness of God.

I invite all to pray that Pope Leo’s vision of peace is made manifest, and all sides charged with the responsibility to govern will find a way to lay down arms, respecting the dignity of human life by working for the common good and promoting human rights.

May the Prince of Peace rule in our hearts. Amen." - Most Rev. Archbishop Shawn McKnight
