VATICAN CITY — Pope Leo XIV weighed in on U.S. politics, saying that Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions and suggesting that the country's treatment of immigrants is "inhuman."
"Someone who says I'm against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life," Pope Leo said.
"And someone who says I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life."
"I would reject there is inhumane treatment of illegal immigrants in the United States under this administration," Leavitt told reporters at the White House.
Critics, including Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield, Illinois, where Durbin lives, condemned the award because of the senator's past support for abortion rights.
