Pope Francis prophetically said that “we are already fighting a piecemeal third world war.” Tonight, the Middle East is on fire. Francis also warned that “war is madness.” There is a foreboding sense this time around, with no clear plan for peace in sight. Now is time for intense prayer.

Pope Leo at Roman parish this afternoon: “I'm deeply concerned, and we don't know how many days it will last, about the situation in the Middle East. War again! We must pray much for peace, live in unity, and reject the temptation to harm others; violence is never the right choice.”

Pope Leo: "I am following with deep concern what is happening in the Middle East and in Iran in these dramatic hours. Stability and peace are not built with mutual threats or with weapons, which sow destruction, pain, and death, but only with reasonable, authentic, and responsible dialogue.”

“War is back in vogue and a zeal for war is spreading. The principle established after the Second World War, which prohibited nations from using force to violate the borders of others, has been completely undermined.” - Pope Leo

The Vatican made the right decision in rejecting the invitation to the “Board of Peace.” The Holy See does not want to get caught up in endless wars, under the guise of “Peace.” And now a totally unnecessary, unjust war with Iran.

Pope: “In just a few meters, one can touch the contradictions of this time: the carefreeness of those come and go with all the comforts and those without a roof; the many potentials for good and the widespread violence; the desire to work honestly and the illicit trades of drugs and prostitution.”

Pope Leo at Angelus: “There is always the risk of discouragement or of being drawn to easier paths to satisfaction, such as wealth, fame and power. These temptations…are merely poor substitutes for the joy for which we were created. Ultimately, they leave us dissatisfied, restless and empty.”

You cannot manipulate every single word and action of the Pope in order to fit your political narrative. There are misleading and factually inaccurate stories circulating. The attempt to pigeonhole the Pope to fit your own story is disingenuous, risks spreading false news about the Pope.
