Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:
Multiple US politicians have expressed concerns over President Trump’s recent comments about Pope Leo. The Pope, who was recently visited by Trump, has been the subject of criticism from some Republican lawmakers.
According to reports, Trump made several statements that were perceived as critical of the Pope and Catholicism. Some lawmakers, including Senator Vance, have called for the Pope to stay out of US affairs.
Columnist Vance wrote an opinion piece criticizing Trump’s use of “Christ-like” imagery in his rhetoric, arguing that it was filled with sloppy symbolism. The article sparked debate among politicians and pundits.
Meanwhile, some Republican senators have expressed discomfort with Trump’s recent comments about Iran, which they believe may be seen as inflammatory. The endgame for US policy towards Iran remains unclear.
In a separate development, columnist Brehm has called on President Trump to issue an apology for his comments about the Pope and Catholicism.
