Pope Leo Denounces Iran War
The feud between the Vatican and the White House has intensified as Pope Leo XIV uses his global platform to challenge President Trump’s military strategy.
The Chicago-born pope expressed deep frustration over the 'chaotic situation' in the Middle East, noting that many innocent protesters have been executed by the Iranian regime.
While Trump has publicly criticized the Pope for not supporting the war effort, Leo maintains that his role as a pastor prevents him from favoring any conflict.
The Pope’s trip to Africa has been seen as a turning point, where he has found a more confident and activist voice on the world stage.
