BIASES AND FRAMING IDENTIFIED

Symbolic opposition framing: progressive media outlets (Atlantic, HuffPost, Time) read the Lampedusa visit as a direct challenge to Trump on immigration, amplifying political tension at the expense of a pastoral interpretation

Patriotic framing preference: Fox News emphasizes the Pope's congratulations and praise for religious freedom, downplaying calls to welcome migrants present in the same text

Limited coverage of American Catholic voices: analyzed media outlets concentrate on the partisan political angle without giving voice to Catholic faithful or U.S. bishops
