Why is the pope not directly attacking for starting a needless war in Ukraine? I think the pope is allowing his human emotions play out, which is bit very nice for his position.

Iran's political and religious extremism needs to be tamed. Not even the Vatican is safe from their extremism.

Pope Leo says he was not seeking to debate Donald Trump when he criticised "tyrants" for spending billions on wars in a speech earlier this week.

The pontiff said the remarks, delivered days after a high-profile spat with the US president, had been written a fortnight earlier – "well before the president ever commented on myself".

"And yet as it happens, it was looked at as if I was trying to debate, again, the president, which is not in my interest at all," he told reporters aboard a flight to Angola on Saturday.

On Monday, Trump launched a scathing attack on the first American Pope – who has been a vocal critic of the US-Israeli military operation in Iran – as "terrible for foreign policy".

The Pope, who is on a tour of Africa, said a "certain narrative that has not been accurate" had developed, citing "the political situation created" by Trump's comments.

In response to the pontiff's latest remarks, US Vice-President JD Vance, who converted to Catholicism as an adult, said he was "grateful to Pope Leo for saying this".

"While the media narrative constantly gins up conflict - and yes, real disagreements have happened and will happen - the reality is often much more complicated," Vance added.

Earlier in the week - before the Pope's speech referring to "tyrants" - Vance had urged the Vatican to "stick to matters of morality".

During the speech in Cameroon on Thursday, the Pope had criticised leaders who "turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of dollars are spent on killing and devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education and restoration are nowhere to be found".

They don't know that Trump has foreseen the repercussion of all this madness and he is trying his best to reverse it..... regardless of whether the next president will continue where he stopped or reverse most of his policies or not is for fate to decide but for Trump, at least he has washed his hands off any future decay of America.

The earlier these guys understand that all these trying to be politically correct, promoting of LGBTQ, being soft on extremists within their territories will only lead to internal destruction....the better it will be for them and that's exactly what Trump is working in earnest to see that it doesn't happen in America though it looks like it's almost too late.....America will need someone like him to continue after his tenure for his dreams to manifest but the big question is if there is anyone like that and if he/she will be the one replacing Trump.

Could in all honesty be late. Look at campaign of hate unleashed by so-called conservatives (wolves) like Tucker. Hopefully a strong candidate wins after him, but even if they don't, Trump would have already done his best. Posterity would be kind to him.

A pope so naive that has drawn the church against the most powerful country on earth with a careless and unnecessary utterances.

THE POPE AND TRUMP ARE NOT HUMANITY'S PROBLEMS. RATHER, IT IS THE DEVIL WHO SEEKS TO USE AVAILABLE PLATFORMS TO FOMENT HIS TROUBLES TO DIVIDE THE BODY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST,

THE POPE, TRUMP, AND INDEED THE COVENANT LEADERS IN NIGERIA, SHOULD COVET DIVINE WISDOM TO KNOW WHAT AND WHEN TO COMMENT OR NOT TO COMMENT IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.

THE DEVIL IS A LIAR FROM THE PIT OF HELL. HE WAS DEFEATED THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO AT CALVARY, AND THE VICTORY OF OUR LORD OVER THE DEVIL HAS BEEN CREDITED TO OUR ACCOUNT AT OUR REBIRTH.

THEREFORE, WE SHOULD BE CAREFUL, LEST WE IGNORANTLY USE DIVISIVE COMMENTS WITHIN THE BODY OF JESUS CHRIST TO ANNUL OUR POWER OVER THE DEVIL, AND EMPOWER HIM TO HAVE DOMINION OVER US. GOD FORBID!

our love and prayers go to those (u) without a working family or with a single struggling mother and a permanent absentee father, who are often too quick to mention other people's family casually, especially. You will find love and draw the line between strength and empathy .

The pope is now a liberal European property. He doesn't represent the US in any capacity. He has decided to stand up for his European landlords because the Iran war is biting hard in Europe.
