Key Points:
- President Trump responded to bishops' criticism of the Pope's stance on war by emphasizing his support for the gospel but arguing against allowing a "mean spirited" country to have nuclear weapons, suggesting such a country would use them quickly.
- CNN's Jamie Gangel clarified that the Pope's message focuses on peace and diplomacy, not support for nuclear weapons, and suggested Trump appeared to be backpedaling amid criticism.
