Donald Trump's war of words with Pope Leo has angered some American Catholics, a key voting bloc, who say the US president has gone too far in his criticism of the pontiff.
Trump has clashed with Leo on everything from Iran to immigration and recently dismissed the pontiff as "weak" in an unprecedented personal attack on a pope by a US leader.Â
