The Australian education system is unique – but not in a good way.
Amoral US President Donald Trump has taken on the saintly Pope Leo,the first American to lead the Catholic Church. Trump’s not winning.
Trump was re-elected with strong support from white American Catholics. Picking a fight with the pontiff is not in his political or ecclesiastical interest.
Leo took aim at “the masters of war” who spend billions of dollars on conflict. His unusually forceful remarks came just days after the US president attacked him on social media.
This masthead asked more than a dozen Republican senators if they had concerns about the US president’s stability after he slammed the Pope and likened himself to Jesus.
The US president’s verbal assault on Pope Leo XIV,followed by the release of a now-deleted post portraying himself as a Christ-like saviour,has riled the American religious right.
The president accused the media of deliberately misconstruing the “blasphemous” meme while he accepted a lunchtime delivery of McDonald’s at the Oval Office.

Leo,who is known for choosing his words carefully,has ramped up his criticism of the Iran war in recent weeks.
