Trump administration has riled head of Catholic church over use of theology to justify conflict in Iran
The contrast in experience between the two men disagreeing over war and theology was striking.
On the one side was Pope Leo XIV, the first North American to head the Catholic church and the first cleric from the Augustinian order, who this week visited the modern Algerian city where Saint Augustine once lived. For Leo, who wrote his doctoral thesis on Augustine’s ideas, it was the culmination of a lifelong intellectual interest.
On the other, the US vice-president, JD Vance, a very recent adult convert to Catholicism with no academic background in the history of the church’s thinking.
Israel has said that Iran is ‘weeks’ away from nukes for like 40 years dude.
If they wanted bombs, they’d get them.
Sure, that is the easy answer and why nuclear powers in the region are fine with it. I was talking about how I don’t understand why murica+israel is dooming while those countries are so relaxed. I wasn’t dooming.
Because Israel hates Iran, because they finance people standing up to Israels genocide against it’s multiple neighbors.
That’s the only reason.
