In Angola, love for an American pope but not for an American president

In Luanda, Catholics expressed love and admiration for Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope, but not so much for President Trump because of the war in Iran.

Josephine García and her friends had been standing under a sweltering sun for hours, dancing in the airport parking lot as they waited for a glimpse of Pope Leo XIV.

The first American-born Pope, García said with a smile, was their “father in faith,” a man who stood for “peace and unity — in Angola and everywhere.”
