Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) called on President Donald Trump to apologize to Pope Leo XIV, arguing the president has treated the pontiff as a political figure rather than a religious leader. 

“I, for one, think apology is an underused art in politics,” Tillis said in a Wednesday interview with NBC News. “When you’re wrong, you’re wrong, or if you made a mistake, or maybe it was just a misconception, just get past it. Move on. This president has done so many positive things that I want to focus on.”
