🚨 Pope Leo XIV just declared the Iran War unjust.

Called it a war crime.

Said it is “not solving anything.”

Then told Americans directly: call Congress. End this war.

The same Pope Trump called weak on crime.
The same Pope Trump fabricated a nuclear quote from.
The same Pope whose brother received a bomb threat after Trump attacked him.

The same Pope Speaker Johnson lectured on theology.

1.4 billion Catholics heard their leader call this war a crime.

Pope Leo XIV tonight in Castel Gandolfo:

“I have been speaking out ever since I was elected. The anniversary is almost here. I said, ‘Peace be with you,' and the Church’s mission is to preach the Gospel, to preach peace. If anyone wishes to criticize me for proclaiming the Gospel, let them do so with the truth. The Church has spoken out for years against all nuclear weapons, so there is no doubt about this, and I simply hope to be heard for the sake of the Word of God. Thank you."

[U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops @USCCB]

Echoing the message Pope Leo XIV delivered at the Sunday Angelus today, Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops reminded the faithful: “Peace is built on respect for people.”

“Today, Pope Leo XIV reminds us that ‘the Gospel must be proclaimed and lived in every setting, serving as a leaven of fraternity and peace among all individuals, cultures, religions and peoples.’

“It is with this in mind that I prayerfully urge calm, restraint, and respect for human life in Minneapolis, and all those places where peace is threatened. Public authorities especially have a responsibility to safeguard the well-being of people in service to the common good.

“As a nation we must come together in dialogue, turning away from dehumanizing rhetoric and acts which threaten human life. In this spirit, in unity with Pope Leo, it is important to proclaim, ‘Peace is built on respect for people!’”

@clairej75 @RoyalFamily @PoppyLegion @RoyalAlbertHall @KensingtonRoyal He is in Brazil at the COP 30 Climate Summit in Brazil. Be thankful you’re represented at this important event for the future of the world and life on the planet. No one from U.S. bothered to attend. Probably a good thing as they don’t care about climate change!

As he left Castel Gandolfo on Tuesday evening, Pope Leo XIV responded to a journalist's question and invited Catholics to treat one another with respect, pointing out that pro-life issues include abolishing the death penalty and treating migrants humanely, as well as opposing abortion.

As an aside, it hasn’t been noted (anywhere near) enough that Francis was the first Pope in 120 years to vault his successor from priesthood to the Papacy – before Leo, the last 3 Popes were given the red hat by their predecessor’s predecessor.

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

Pope Leo XIV: “Someone who says I’m against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life,” the pope explained. “Someone who says I’m against abortion but I’m in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants... https://t.co/zGkrb0AeFF

VATICAN: “This evening, Pope Leo XIV visited young Ignacio Gonzálvez, a young Spaniard who came to Rome for the Youth Jubilee and was admitted to the Bambino Gesù Hospital in recent days. He engaged in an affectionate conversation with him and his family members. Then he greeted some patients in the oncology ward, met individually with some relatives of the young patients, children, and hospital staff. In an atmosphere of emotion, he recited the Our Father with those present, giving them his blessing.”

A federal court on July 18 blocked a controversial Washington state reporting law that would require priests to violate the seal of confession, siding with the state’s Catholic bishops who brought suit against the measure earlier this year.

The law, passed by the state Legislature earlier this year and signed by Gov. Robert Ferguson, added clergy to the list of mandatory abuse reporters in the state. But it didn’t include an exemption for information learned in the confessional, explicitly leaving priests out of a “privileged communication” exception afforded to other professionals.

In the ruling, District Judge David Estudillo said there was “no question” that the law burdened the free exercise of religion.

“In situations where [priests] hear confessions related to child abuse or neglect, [the rule] places them in the position of either complying with the requirements of their faith or violating the law,” the judge wrote.

Estudillo noted that the measure as passed “modifies existing law solely to make members of the clergy mandatory reporters with respect to child abuse or neglect.”

As written, the law is “neither neutral nor generally applicable” insofar as it “treats religious activity less favorably than comparable secular activity,” he said.

The state could have made clergy mandatory reporters while allowing a narrow exception for confession, Estudillo said, as more than two dozen other states already have.

The order bars the Washington state government from enforcing the law.

The ruling comes after the bishops sued Ferguson, state Attorney General Nicholas Brown, and more than three dozen prosecutors over the controversial reporting law.

On July 15 those prosecutors filed a motion in the court promising not to appeal the injunction against the law or any final judgment of the court in exchange for largely being excused from the ongoing legal proceedings. Ferguson and Brown are still subject to the suit. https://t.co/PrQ2ikpexE
