Pope Leo Condemns Religion-Justified Iran War Amidst Historical Criticism
As the Iran war enters its second month, Pope Leo has delivered an unusually forceful Palm Sunday message, directly warning world leaders against the use of faith to justify military action. He emphatically stated, “God rejects the prayers of those who wage war,” countering recent appeals, including those from the US, that invoke religion to support the conflict. Analysts view the Pope’s homily as a strong and unequivocal call for peace amid the escalating hostilities.
