Several Catholic bishops speak out after President Donald Trump posted (and the White House reposted) an AI social media image of himself as pope. Ukraine's religious leaders met in Washington with Archbishop Timothy Broglio, head of the U.S. Catholic bishops' conference, urging Americans to "be on the side of truth" in Russia's war on Ukraine.
