Hojat-ol-Islam Mohammad Mehdi Imanipour, who also heads the Islamic Culture and Relations Organization (ICRO), wrote a letter to Pope Leo XIV, praising the stance of the leader of the world’s Catholics against Trump's insult to Jesus (AS).

The text of the letter is as follows:

His Excellency Pope Leo XIV

The respected leader of the world's Catholics

May God's peace be upon Jesus (PBUH) and may God's peace be upon the true followers of His Holiness!

We live in a world where defending peace and preventing violence is met with protest. Your Excellency's courageous stance against the outrageous behavior of the US President that has been far from the teachings of Christianity is commendable. The positions you have taken as the authority of the Catholic Church to defend world peace and non-aggression against innocent people are a sign of your faith in truth and justice and a worthy representation of Christian believers who stand on the right side of history.
