Pope Issues Stark Warning to Trump Supporters
Pope Leo XIV has publicly condemned Donald Trump’s military operation in Iran, stating that God does not heed the prayers of those who engage in warfare. During his Palm Sunday address, the pontiff advocated for peace, reminding worshipers that Jesus Christ rejects the prayers of those with “hands full of blood.” The Pope expressed deep concern for “crucified humanity” and urged those instigating conflicts to have mercy on the victims. This statement comes amid reports of U.S. officials using religious justifications for the war, with some commanders reportedly invoking divine plans and Armageddon to encourage troops, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth praying for “overwhelming violence” in Iran.
