Pope Leo XIV said on Sunday that God “does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them,” urging that Christianity can not be used to justify attacks.
“This is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war,” he told the faithful in St. Peter’s Square after the Palm Sunday mass. While the pontiff did not specify the names of the war-waging leaders, the comment came after his criticism of the ongoing United States-Israel joint attacks on Iran.
Earlier this year, US President Donald Trump claimed that “God is very proud” of his work in office.
