On Easter Sunday, Leo XIV urged world leaders to lay down weapons and
choose peacerCoto drop the rCLdesire to dominate others.rCY It was the culmination of a rhetorical escalation against the Iran war that grew in intensity over Holy Week, when he condemned rCLthe imperialist occupation
of the worldrCY and warned that God rejects the prayers rCLof those who wage war.rCY

ItrCOs hard not to see these remarks as aimed directly at the leader of
the free world and the Christians in his inner circle. President Donald
Trump has not directly addressed the PoperCOs comments, but behind closed doors, tensions have been building for monthsrCoculminating in January,
when senior U.S. defense officials summoned a top Vatican diplomat to
the Pentagon. What happened inside that room set the tone for everything
that followed: Vatican officials briefed on the meeting, who spoke with
The Free Press on the condition of anonymity, described it as a bitter
lecture warning that the United States has the military power to do
whatever it wantsrCoand that the Church had better take its side.

Pete of Pentagon, the evangelical Christian McNamara, is fighting yet
another losing war. Against the Church this time. When will he learn?

I wish the secularised-to-the-tiny-bones small cats had a pinky's worth
of the resolve Pope Leo has.
