Pope Leo XIV sent a strong message to President Donald Trump regarding military actions in the Middle East while speaking in the Vatican on Sunday. "I am following with deep concern what is happening in the Middle East and in Iran during this tumultuous time. Stability and peace are not achieved through mutual threats, nor through the use of weapons, which sow destruction, suffering, and death, but only through reasonable, sincere, and responsible dialogue". Pope Leo also prayed for nations to revisit diplomatic solutions to securing peace. If we only had a President who could negotiate.
