The fact that the Iranian regime did in fact murder a huge number of protestors cannot be denied, however.

Amen. I'm glad Leo addressed on the way home from Africa last month.

Iran can make peace. Iran can have peace. We can pray along with the Holy Father and all who serve the Prince of Peace with open hearts.

Many states have done wicked things. Sin abounds in this world. Persia has a history of civility long ago. They can live in their better ways, we believe.

We do not need to forgive Iran or ignore wickedness done. We need to live in the world where change and salvation can occur.

That’s all we are saying.

Ahhhh, my fellow Chicagoan. What exquisite timing. Send your messages. Peace. (That warmonger insane beast deserves the jab.) Go L14!

🤔 Same Vatican that in June 2020 appointed Callista Gingrich a Dame Grand Cross of the Order of Pius IX. Pope Francis recognized her contributions to the Church & society. The same Callista who testified in 1999 as part of Newt Gingrich's divorce proceedings that the couple began a six-year affair in 1993 while Newt was married to his second wife, Marianne.

Ol’ Newt divorced Marianne in December 1999. On August 18, 2000, Callista and Newt were married & in 2002, Newt asked the Catholic Archdiocese of Atlanta to annul his 19-year marriage to Marianne on the basis that she had been previously married.

I’m not one to judge but it does seem to be on par with a military good conduct award which many recipients describe as reflecting undetected misconduct.

Pope Leo is making himself at home living in djt's head. I, for one, am loving it.

I do not think that Pope Leo or any diplomat is denying the crimes committed by the Iranian regime. What Pope Leo XIV is doing is asking everyone to examine their consciences and to work and pray to protect the vulnerable and to decrease all forms of abuse, cruelty and violence, all weapons of mass destruction and all fossil fuelled genocides and wars. Almost two thousand years after the Crucifixion, it's long overdue that we who aspire to be followers of The Universal Christ, the Alpha and the Omega, dedicate our lives to the scholarship and practice of non-judgment and non-violence. Most of us find living the Good News challenging, to say the least. I find it truly inspirational that Pope Leo is such a great linguist and can also speak the Gospel in "American" English. For the past twenty centuries, too many " Christians" have not even attempted to imitate Our Lord Jesus. Hopefully it's not too late for a change.

The current President doesn’t understand that Pope Leo is against Iran war. So am I. Mr. Trump has no respect for my hero Pope Leo. He has no right to demand Pope Leo to support the war. Nah! Give me a break. The current President needs to be quiet and leave Pope Leo alone. I agree with Pope Leo. I disagree with the current President about Iran war. Let’s pray that the current President will be quiet and leave Pope Leo alone.
