Pope Leo XIV used part of his Palm Sunday message to castigate the United States for attempting to stop Iran from becoming a nuclear power and threatening the world with mass destruction. In doing so, the "American Pope" confused the real enemy in the war.

Addressing thousands in St. Peter's Square, the Pope claimed that God rejects the prayers of leaders who wage war. He called the Iran war "atrocious" violence that cannot be justified by faith. He further said that God doesn't hear the prayers of people whose "hands (are) full of blood." Does he not include Iran's maniacal regime which has murdered Americans directly and through proxies, as well as tens of thousands of their own people? Does the Pope believe the Muslim god doesn't hear prayers asking him to destroy Jews, Israel, and the United States?

The Pope favors "diplomacy" over war, but you can't negotiate with evil. Recall how that worked with Adolf Hitler in Munich and more recently with North Korea, which has nuclear weapons because several American presidents refused to do........
