Carol Marbin Miller and Syra Ortiz Blanes report and Trump's latest episode of derangement:

The Trump administration has abruptly canceled an $11 million contract with Catholic Charities to shelter and care for migrant children who enter the U.S. alone, ending a relationship between the Catholic Church and the U.S. government dating back to the first arrivals of Cuban exiles in South Florida.  

The development comes amid rising tensions between the administration and American Catholics over President Donald Trump’s heated criticism of the Vatican’s first American pope, Leo XIV. The pontiff has made opposition to the U.S. war with Iran, as well as concern for the welfare of migrants, a cornerstone of his ministry.  [emphasis added]

A reporter for the National Catholic Reporter seems to be living in a different world.  She doesn't mention either Donald Trump or Pope Leo  by name.  They are the central characters in the clawback of funds.
