The New York State Catholic Conference, which represents the bishops of the Empire State, has taken a stand against the photo created by the AI and reposted on his social Truth by Donald Trump, which presents the president as the Pope.

“It is never appropriate to ridicule or mock the papacy,” said Dennis Poust, executive director of the New York State Catholic Conference, noting that American anti-Catholicism has a long history of attacking the papacy.

While the president did not intend to insult the Catholic Church, Poust warned, his post “is still offensive. I hope he regrets posting it.”

In recent days, Trump, responding to those who asked him for a prediction on the next Pope, had said: "I would like to be Pope."
