Is The Pope Wrong To Criticize Trump’s Immigration Policies?

The relationship between world leaders and religious figures often involves intense debates on morality and policy. Recently, Pope Francis criticized Trump’s stance on immigration, calling it inhumane and divisive. Trump, in turn, defended his immigration policies as necessary for national security and the protection of American values. With the 2024 election’s outcome reaffirming Trump’s leadership, his administration faces growing scrutiny on its policies. Should the Pope be voicing such criticism, or is it inappropriate for religious leaders to challenge a democratically elected government’s policies on immigration?
