Pope Leo XIV Weighs in on Military Strikes on Iran — Makes Fool of Himself

Pope Leo XIV weighed in on the US and Israeli attacks on the Iranian regime on Sunday.

Leo lectured that “stability and peace are not achieved through mutual threats, nor through the use of weapons, which sow destruction, suffering, and death, but only through reasonable, sincere, and responsible dialogue.”

What a naive take on such a serious international issue. He sounds like a grade school girl.

The pope wrote:

I am following with deep concern what is happening in the Middle East and in Iran during this tumultuous time. Stability and peace are not achieved through mutual threats, nor through the use of weapons, which sow destruction, suffering, and death, but only through reasonable, sincere, and responsible dialogue.

Faced with the possibility of a tragedy of immense proportions, I make a heartfelt appeal to all the parties involved to assume the moral responsibility of halting the spiral of violence before it becomes an unbridgeable chasm. May diplomacy regain its proper role, and may the well-being of peoples, who yearn for peaceful existence founded on justice, be upheld. And let us continue to pray for peace.

The responses to Pope Leo XIV’s take were brutal.
