Pp. Leo sent a message to the Chaldean (uniate) Church.
As they visit Rome for the election of their new Patriarch, members of the Chaldean Church of Baghdad met with Pope Leo XIV in the Apostolic Palace on Friday morning....
...Closing his message, Pope Leo reminded members of the Chaldean Catholic Church they “are signs of hope in a world marked by absurd and inhumane violence, which in these times, driven by greed and hatred, spreads ferociously in the very lands that saw the rise of salvation."
However, he warned, nothing is more important than the lives of the weakest, children, and families—“no cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.”
Be “tireless workers for peace” in Jesus’ name. You are called, the Pope stressed, to be “never on the side of those who yesterday wielded the sword and today launch bombs.”
OK, then, Pp. Leo.
We await your condemnation of all the Crusades, the sailors at Lepanto, and Sobieski of Poland.
We could name others who "wielded the sword," but let's start there.
OK??

His condemnation was directed toward Trump and Bibi. Great words by our religious leader.
Ah, no. He said "never." That would be a long time, both backwards and forwards, including the Muzzies who lost at lepanto, lost at Vienna, and lost Aragon, too.
Trump and Bibi seek to justify the shedding of innocent blood. Morally reprehensible. No justification.
I do NOT defend the Iran war. I merely state that the Pope's words are not carefully selected.
His words called out those who needed to be called out. It was well stated on that front.
