"Trump Has Met His Match in Pope Leo"

"It's surely no exaggeration to say that Trump embodies the very worst of us. He brims over with flaws–we used to call them sins–most people try to tame within themselves. Though the self-regard and vanity is beyond egregious, we've somehow grown used to it. This is the man who took a memorial to a young president gunned down in his prime, and slapped his own name on it: behold, the Trump-Kennedy Center. This is the man who plans to build a gold victory arch, an Arc de Trump, so gargantuan at 250ft tall that it will loom over Washington DC. This is the man who posted an image of himself as a Jesus-like figure"

At The Guardian, Jonathan Freedland writes that "the US president represents the polar opposite of Christianity."
