教皇利奥称在特朗普抨击后“无惧特朗普政府”


2026年4月13日 美国东部时间上午7:36 / 哥伦比亚广播公司新闻

阿尔及尔讯——教皇利奥回应了总统措辞尖锐的批评,称他“无惧特朗普政府”,并将继续为福音教义“大声疾呼”。

上周日晚间,特朗普先生在社交媒体上猛烈抨击教皇,称其“在犯罪问题上软弱无力,外交政策糟糕透顶”。

“我不想要一个认为伊朗拥有核武器没问题的教皇,”他补充道。

利奥此前曾称特朗普“消灭伊朗文明”的威胁“完全不可接受”,并鼓励民众联系“政治领袖……请求他们、敦促他们为和平而努力”。

周一,在启程前往非洲的教皇专机上接受记者采访时,利奥拒绝直接回应总统的帖子。“我不是政治家,”他说,“这方面的事我留给政客们去做。”

但他驳斥了特朗普批评的实质内容,警告不要试图将他的信息与政治议程混为一谈,并暗示总统并不理解福音的教义。

“把我的信息和总统在此试图做的事情相提并论,我认为这是不理解福音的教义是什么,”他说,“对此我感到遗憾,但我会继续践行我所认为的当今教会在世界上的使命。”

他表示,这一使命植根于始终如一的和平呼吁,他坚称这适用于所有领导人,而非仅美国一国。

“福音的教义非常明确:‘使人和睦的人有福了’,”利奥说道,并补充说他不会羞于宣扬这一点。“如今太多人在受苦。太多无辜民众被杀害。”

教皇表示,在全球紧张局势升级之际,他的角色不是参与政治辩论,而是提供一种道德选择。

“必须有人站出来说还有更好的出路,”他说道,并指出对话、和解与多边合作是前进的道路。

利奥发表此番言论之际,正值他开启为期11天的访问之旅,他将前往阿尔及利亚、喀麦隆、安哥拉和赤道几内亚,这些国家都面临着冲突、不平等和政治不稳定的问题。

这位美国籍教皇在专机上的表态,是他迄今为止对这位美国总统批评的最有力回击。

在伊朗战争的背景下,利奥近日多次警告称,暴力正被常态化,宗教语言正面临被滥用作暴力辩护的风险。

Pope Leo says he has “no fear of the Trump administration” after Trump lashes out

Algiers — Pope Leo has responded to sharply-worded criticism from the President, saying he has “no fear of the Trump administration” and will continue to speak out “loudly” for the message of the Gospel.

Late Sunday, Mr. Trump lashed out at the pontiff on social media, calling him “WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy.”

“I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon,” he added.

Leo had previously called Mr. Trump’s threat to wipe out Iranian civilization “truly unacceptable” and encouraged people to contact “political leaders … to ask them, tell them to work for peace.”

Speaking to journalists Monday aboard the papal plane as he began a trip to Africa, Leo declined to address the president’s post directly. “I am not a politician,” he said. “I will leave that to the politicians.”

But he pushed back on the substance of Mr. Trump’s criticism, warning against attempts to equate his message with political agendas, and hinting that the president did not understand the message of the Gospel.

“To put my message on the same plane as what the president has attempted to do here is, I think, not understanding what the message of the Gospel is,” he said. “I am sorry to hear that, but I will continue with what I believe is the mission of the Church in the world today.”

That mission, he said, is rooted in a consistent call for peace, one he insisted applies to all leaders, not just the United States.

“The message of the Gospel is very clear: ‘Blessed are the peacemakers,’” Leo said, adding that he will not shy away from proclaiming it. “Too many people are suffering today. Too many innocent people have been killed.”

The pope said he sees his role not as entering political debates, but as offering a moral alternative at a time of rising global tensions.

“Someone has to stand up and say that there is a better way,” he said, pointing to dialogue, reconciliation and multilateral cooperation as the path forward.

Leo’s remarks come at the start of an 11-day trip that will take him to Algeria, Cameroon, Angola and Equatorial Guinea, countries grappling with conflict, inequality and political instability.

The American pope’s comments aboard the plane are his strongest to date pushing back against criticism from the American president.

Amid the backdrop of the war in Iran, Leo has repeatedly warned in recent days that violence is becoming normalized and that religious language is at risk of being misused to justify it.
