Pope Leo has debuted a forceful speaking style on his Africa tour, criticizing war and inequality. US President Donald Trump has attacked the pope, calling him 'terrible' in response to his criticisms of the US-Israeli war on Iran. Speaking in Cameroon, the pope said the world is 'being ravaged by a handful of tyrants'. Experts say Leo is growing concerned with global leadership and is establishing himself as a moral leader. The pope's comments carry more weight due to being delivered in Africa, where people have experienced war, violence, and poverty. Leo's predecessor, Pope Francis, was also known for forceful denunciations, but Leo is speaking more directly.
