Pope On Iran: Peace Not Built With Mutual Threats Or Death-dealing Arms by SarcasticWords(op): 2:41pm On Mar 01
Speaking at the Angelus on Sunday, Pope Leo XIV expressed “deep concern” over recent events in the Middle East and Iran.

Stability and peace are not built with mutual threats, nor with weapons, which sow destruction, pain, and death, but only through a reasonable, authentic, and responsible dialogue,” he said.

The Pope warned of an immense tragedy if violence escalates out of control.

Faced with the possibility of a tragedy of enormous proportions,” he said, “I address to the parties involved a heartfelt appeal to assume the moral responsibility to stop the spiral of violence before it becomes an irreparable abyss!

Pope Leo prayed that nations may return to dialogue in order to seek peace.

May diplomacy recover its role and may the good of peoples be promoted, peoples who long for peaceful coexistence founded on justice,” he said. “And let us continue to pray for peace.

On Saturday, Israel and the United States began carrying out joint airstrikes on Tehran and several other Iranian cities.

Iran then responded with attacks on Israel and several Gulf countries which host American military bases.

Later in the day, state-run news agencies announced the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who ruled Iran for nearly 37 years.

Oh Leo, Relax!

Israel and the US were right to attack Iran in the middle of peaceful negotiations.

Why should iran enrich uranium and keep building balistic missiles for themselves? They have no right to do that. Other nations do, but for as Iran? NEVER! angry

Regime change, democracy and freedom is the goal here. For too long the people of Iran have been oppressed by the Islamic Iranian regime, Most especially the women.

But now, Trump is bringing freedom to their doorsteps. The women can now take off their hijab, niqab or burqa, embrace feminism and be free like megan thee stallion.

The Pope should shut his trap on issues of world politics until after he has opened up the borders of the Vatican city as a whole to illegal migrants as well as Islamic refugees(women caged under burqas included). Nonsense!🥱🥱🥱

By the way, I don't recall him even speaking out against the massacre of 10s of thousands of Iranian protestors by this same Iranian regime that happened this very January/February. 🤐🤐🤐

Even their fellow Muslim countries are distancing theirself from them..Iran cannot be trusted because if they eventually develop uranium missile, then they will be threat not only in the middleast but to the entire world.. their extremist agenda is out of this world..just like Libya, Somalia, Egypt, Morocco, and lots more

Khamenei rejected 72 virgins, preparing to come back for revenge. Iran is winning...Iran is winning.

Meanwhile,

Iranians are celebrating, but some Nigerian terrorist sympathizers are angry.

What did the pope said when 30,000 people were killed? huh
Re: Pope On Iran: Peace Not Built With Mutual Threats Or Death-dealing Arms by Omoawoke(m): 10:44pm On Mar 01
The only reason I’m happy say Iran dey collect is because of some weird traits display by our Muslim brothers in Nigeria.

Nigerian Muslims know how to cry for Iran while their own brothers here are being massacred and they pretend they don’t see it.

When they killed Deborah, they all kept quiet and pretended they were not online, but when it comes to their Arab masters, you will see tears upon tears.

Where’s the justice for Deborah Samuel?

lol

Uranium missile, educate yourself. No just empty head and spewing gibberish, why not educate yourself or keep quiet and stop. Embarrassing yourself publicly.

Mumu man from a heretical church.

When they kill their own citizens, he keeps quiet.

When they murder Christians, he keeps quiet.

Now they kill the sponsors of terrorism and he condemns the killings angry

If this man and his church knew the bible, they'll understand that this is Gods doing.

God said He will set His throne in Iran. Elam is an old biblical name for Iran.

Jeremiah 49:38
And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith the Lord.

For God to set up His throne in Elam(Iran) , allah needs to be removed first.

This is what God is doing through Trump.

Megan the stallion wants that kind of life as long as she is not forcing anyone to follow her lifestyle and her lifestyle doesn't hurt others then that is her business. Don't force people to do what they don't want to do let the Iranian women chose how they want to dress. Even God that created us is not forcing anything on us let alone ordinary human being who he created.
