The dispute, which began with a perceived slight against Trump's evangelical Christian base, has now drawn in conservative pundits and politicians, further dividing the right-wing of American politics. As the Pope continues to speak out on issues such as climate change and social justice, Trump and his allies are pushing back, accusing the Pope of overstepping his authority and undermining traditional values. The controversy has sparked a heated debate within the Republican Party, with some calling for Trump to tone down his rhetoric and others rallying behind the former President in his criticism of the Pope.
