- a short reflection on the Gospel reading for Sunday 19 April 2026

Not since Napoleon has a political leader taken on the pope as openly as President Trump. Like Pope Pius VII, who ultimately outlasted the French emperor, Pope Leo XIV is proving a challenging opponent for the president.

The mild-mannered pontiff from Chicago is facing the biggest test of his papacy in a fight with Trump over the Iran war—and he isn’t folding. So far, it is Trump—and not Leo—who has taken criticism from Roman Catholics in the U.S. and elsewhere over their public spat.

The public confrontation came after months of tensions between a U.S. administration that has sometimes presented its war with Iran as doing God’s work, and an American pope who is seeking to rebuild the Catholic Church’s moral authority in a war-torn world.

I stand with my brother in Christ, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, in his courageous call for a kingdom of peace.

As I prepare to visit Rome later this month to meet and pray with Pope Leo, I am mindful of his call to keep our eyes open to the suffering of the world, and our gaze fixed on our crucified and risen Lord Jesus Christ – the image of the invisible God, in whose image and likeness every human being is made. In him, we recognise that we are children of the one Father and members of a single human family. Prayer is not an escape from the world, nor a turning away from injustice; rather, it is a turning towards God in the midst of it, confronting evil, seeking God’s will, and becoming instruments of transformation and peace.
