Pope says Christians cannot 'promote war'
Leo said Christians cannot promote war and urged a respectful welcome for migrants as he challenged Washington’s justification for the Iran attack.
- On Wednesday, Pope Leo XIV visited Barcelona's Sagrada Familia, declaring that believers cannot "promote war" or "kill the innocent," remarks serving as a thinly veiled reference to President Donald Trump's administration.
- Washington's "just war" theory regarding the Middle East conflict is "outdated," the Pope argued, while US Vice President JD Vance and Trump have urged him to remain "careful" on theological matters.
- Trump slammed the pontiff as "WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy," to which the Pope replied that he maintains a "moral duty to speak out" on global affairs.
- Christians have a responsibility to provide a "respectful welcome" for migrants, the Pope emphasized, warning that believers cannot "abandon... those who flee from misery" while following the Gospel.
- Asked about these political tensions, the Church's mission is to "preach peace," the Pope told reporters, adding, "If anyone wishes to criticise me for proclaiming the Gospel, let them do so truthfully.
