The US president accuses Leo of being "weak on crime and terrible for foreign policy".

That’s pretty weird. Attacking the Pope?
Why? Catholics are the tightest anti-Zionists going.
It's obvious Catholic Spain, France, Italy, Mexico, Argentina etc are dead against what's going on in Israel.
Open your eyes.
Epstein was a cult leader.

Here's the real obvious.
There is no documented or verifiable number of Catholics (or any religious group) "in" the Epstein files, nor any credible tally of those "suspected" based on religious affiliation.e186de
The Epstein files—primarily court documents from the Virginia Giuffre v. Ghislaine Maxwell case, flight logs, address books, emails, and more recently released DOJ materials under the Epstein Files Transparency Act (millions of pages as of 2025–2026)—list associations, communications, and mentions of hundreds of individuals.
No Catholic Clergy or Officials Implicated
No Catholic priests, bishops, cardinals, or Church officials appear in the files as clients, participants, or suspects in Epstein's sex trafficking activities.
Catholic sources reviewing the releases explicitly note that "no priests have been found on the Epstein files list."e6de89
Searches and analyses of the named individuals (e.g., via Wikipedia's compiled list or DOJ releases) turn up no such connections.955855
Separate 2019 New York lawsuits (under the Child Victims Act) named both Epstein's estate and the Catholic Church as defendants—but these were unrelated civil cases filed by different victims against different institutions. They do not link the two.769cb5
What the Files Do Show Regarding Catholicism
Recent 2025–2026 DOJ releases highlight Epstein's personal disdain for the Catholic Church and its teachings:
Epstein criticized the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's philanthropy as "Catholicism at its worst" for affirming the equal value of every life (contrasting his own views on population and progress).2cbecb
Emails and messages show Epstein and Steve Bannon (a former Trump adviser with Catholic conservative ties) discussing strategies to undermine Pope Francis, including a proposed (but unrealized) documentary based on the book In the Closet of the Vatican.
Bannon wrote phrases like "Will take down Francis." Cardinal Raymond Burke later distanced himself from a Bannon-linked group over related controversies.b08973
A public photo exists of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell at a general audience with St. John Paul II (pre-2005), but files and fact-checks confirm no deeper involvement or residence at the Vatican. Claims otherwise (e.g., misinterpreted contractor emails) have been debunked by Catholic outlets.696ffa
These references portray Epstein's network viewing the Vatican as a political target, not evidence of Catholic complicity in his crimes.
Epstein himself mocked Catholic doctrine on life issues.
"Suspected" Claims
Any "suspicions" tying Catholics broadly to the files appear in fringe online discussions, conspiracy posts, or misreadings (e.g., linking unrelated Church abuse scandals to Epstein).
These lack support in the actual documents. Catholic responses to the files have focused on condemning the evil described, with no internal reckoning required because no Church personnel are implicated.125047
In short: Zero Catholic clergy or officials are named or suspected in the Epstein files in any criminal or associative capacity tied to the core allegations.
Broader lists of named people (politicians, celebrities, etc.) include individuals of various faiths (or none), but religion was never a factor in the investigations or releases. If new documents emerge, they would be public via the DOJ Epstein library, but current evidence shows no pattern or count related to Catholicism.d61210
