Pope Leo criticizes 'inhuman' treatment of immigrants in US

TEHRAN, Oct. 01 (MNA) – Pope Leo on Tuesday appeared to offer his strongest criticism yet of US President Donald Trump's hard-line 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 his residence in Castel Gandolfo.

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