Pope Leo XIV, the first American-born pope, denounces the militarized 'MAGA Jesus' invoked by some Trump supporters, arguing that Jesus is the King of Peace who condemns war and calls for care of the vulnerable; the clash represents a broader contest over Christian identity and White Christian nationalism in the U.S., with potential to influence politics and foreign policy amid the Iran conflict.
