Catholic bishops regret Trump meeting, saying they were used for ‘political purposes’.
The image released by the White House starkly contrasted with how careful Pope Leo XIV has been to avoid taking sides in politics. One church source joked it was the White House doing “trick or treat early!”

El Vaticano confirma el viaje del papa a Uruguay, Argentina y Perú tras su operación cnn.it/3WbOqrm
Vatican: Pope Leo XIV's 6-17 November visit to Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru, will go ahead & "according to the programme previously published."
Doctors say the latest examinations show the pope's "good health and favorable clinical condition" and continued progress following his lung cancer surgery on 13 October.
Pope Leo says he's "looking forward" to returning to a continent "where I've experienced so many moments of my life" - a reference to his years in Peru.
Leo XIV's itinerary in Latin America is intense, with 50 scheduled events and a planned visit to Cusco, Peru, more than 3,000 metres above sea level.
Vatican statement from doctors says Pope Leo’s recovery is “progressing very well” but they have advised against him travelling by helicopter for a meeting in Assisi on 27 October.
Pope Leo needs no further lung cancer treatment, the Vatican says with doctors explaining that the disease was “localized”.
