Pope Leo XIV: Sovereign of Vatican City Pope Leo XIV has remarked that the world of today is being ravaged by a few tyrants who spend billions on funding wars globally.

The first American-born pontiff avoided naming Trump by name but used his speech to denounce global leaders who justify violence against other countries by invoking religion.
The comments by Pope Leo XIV came as bishops in the United States offered their full and unconditional support to the Catholic Church’s head who came under intense fire from the US President after he spoke out against the US Israel Iran war.
In a statement, the US bishops remarked the Pope is preaching the Gospel while also exercising the ministry as the Vicar of Christ and offering opinions on theology.
Comments By Pope
Pope Leo XIV commented those who drag that is sacred into filth and darkness for their economic, political and military gains should be shunned. The Pope went on to comment these so-called leaders spend billions of dollars on devastation and killing when the world needs resources for education, restoration and healing.
The comments by Pope came after JD Vance, the US Vice President, commented that the Catholic Church leader should concentrate on matters of morality and stay out of politics.
The US Vice President questioned the call of peace by the Pope by questioning his benchmark for a morally justifiable war. Vance remarked there has been a tradition of more than 1000 years of just war theory when the Pope remarked that God is never on side of individuals who wield the sword.
