“We have heard with deep sorrow the words coming from Donald Trump warning that an entire civilization—the population of Iran—could face total destruction. These threats are truly unacceptable. The idea that millions of innocent men, women, and children could be condemned to death under the pretext of national security is an affront to human dignity and a blasphemy against the Creator of life."

BREAKING: 🇻🇦 Pope Leo XIV: “We have heard with deep sorrow the words coming from Donald Trump warning that an entire civilization—the population of Iran—could face total destruction. These threats are truly unacceptable. The idea that millions of innocent men, women, and children could be condemned to death under the pretext of national security is an affront to human dignity and a blasphemy against the Creator of life. No nation has the moral right to erase an entire people from the map.”

@wdlindsy Okay so we've heard from this so-called "Supreme Pontiff" but what does Catholicmaxxer JD Vance have to say about flagrant and immoral violations of Just War doctrine, common sense, and basic human decency?
@klausfiend Why should Vance be given a bigger bully pulpit than he already owns? And why should we shrug our shoulders at what a religious leader with a worldwide platform says when it pushes against a fascist madman, even if we want to mock that leader by calling him a so-called "Supreme Pontiff"? What's to be gained by wasting our energy on that kind of mockery and superciliousness?
