Pope Francis has warned of the “scourge of anti-semitism” in his prayer on the eve of the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, noting it marks 80 years since the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp.

During a recent interview, President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan responded after the Pope criticized their massive deportation efforts.

On the eve of the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Pope Francis also noted that many Christians were killed in Nazi concentration camps.

Speaking at the Sunday Angelus, Pope Francis marked the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and made urgent appeals for peace in Sudan and Colombia.

Pope Francis is taking the highly unusual decision to dissolve an influential Catholic group from Peru which has been plagued by allegations of abuse from within its community, including allegations related to its founder,

He ought to stick to the Catholic Church and fix that. That’s a mess,’ Homan said in response to the pope’s recent criticism.

Francis is also in a unique position, in that he follows two popes who had a more conservative view of what Vatican II represented. In Catholic theological terms, St. Pope John Paul II and Benedict came from the Communio school, which very much put the Council in a more direct relationship with the Church before the Council.

The written remarks also warned against what the pope termed “brain rot” caused by constant social media scrolling, calling for greater media literacy.

Pope Francis says AI – artificial intelligence – poses “a unique set of questions and challenges” for humanity.

ROME (AP) — Pope Francis said Donald Trump’s plans to impose mass deportations of immigrants would be a “disgrace,” as he weighed in on the incoming U.S. president’s pledges nearly a decade after calling him “not Christian” for wanting to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border.

After the pope criticized Trump's deportation plans, MAGA figures have suggested deporting illegal migrants to Vatican City.

Constantly in the public eye, Pope Francis is instantly recognisable across the globe, and his likeness adorns t-shirts, mugs, calendars, bookmarks, medals and jewellery, among other things. Too conservative for some, not conservative enough for others, he is the face of the modern Catholic Church.
