Jesus was a warrior.
The current Pope in Rome, the first American Pope, Pope Leo XIV, claims that Jesus wanted peace, but this is only a part of the story. Jesus stood strong in the face of wrongdoing as well.
NewsMax reports:
Pope Leo XIV, without naming any specific leaders or conflicts, suggested on Friday that Christian political leaders who start wars should go to confession and assess whether they are following the teachings of Jesus.
“Do those Christians who bear grave responsibility in armed conflicts have the humility and courage to make a serious examination of conscience and to go to confession?” the Pope asked in a speech to priests.
While Leo did not name anyone on Friday, in recent days, he has been ramping up calls for an end to the ongoing Iran war, which began with joint U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Feb. 28.
President Donald Trump was raised in the Presbyterian Christian faith. Several of his top deputies, including Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, are Catholic.
This Pope appears unfortunately close to the Pope Francis faithful who used Catholic Charities to illegally import illegals into the US and who backed COVID’s anti-freedom policies despite the related destruction of the church.
