Pope Leo XIV went after Donald Trump and the GOP with a bizarre blessing of a block of ice to protest against climate change deniers.
'We will raise hope by demanding that leaders act with courage, not delay,' Leo said as he gave the frozen water his blessing.
He then asked: 'Will you join with us?'
The American pontiff slammed skeptics who 'ridicule those who speak of global warming,' as he strongly embraced Pope Francis´ environmental legacy and made it his own in some of his strongest and most extensive comments to date.
Leo presided over the 10th anniversary celebration of Francis´ landmark ecological encyclical, Laudato Si (Praised Be) at a global gathering south of Rome that included actor and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
