Pope Leo criticizes Trump’s hardline immigration policies

 The Guardian -   Pope Leo on Tuesday strongly criticized Donald Trump’s hardline immigration policies, questioning whether they were in line with the Catholic church’s “pro-life” teachings.

“Someone who says I am against abortion but I am in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don’t know if that’s pro-life,” the pontiff told journalists outside the papal summer residence in Castel Gandolfo, in the Alban Hills, near Rome.

The Catholic church’s position that life is sacred from conception until natural death is one of the 1.4 billion-member religious denomination’s strongest teachings.
