I can’t help but offer the following questions for Pope Leo (Robert Prevost) after hearing him criticize the United States and Israel and, just recently, seeing him give Iran’s ambassador an award that declares him to be a Knight of the Grand Cross of the Order of Pius IX:
Why don’t you meet with the leaders of Iran and persuade them to:
• Stop committing acts of terror against Israel and other countries?
• Stop supporting terrorist organizations like Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis?
• Stop threatening to wipe Israel and America off the face of the earth?
• Stop murdering over 30,000 civilian protesters as they did a few months ago, in 2026?
• Provide Iranian women equal rights?
• Allow freedom of religion and stop persecuting Christians?
• Provide free and fair elections for political leaders?
Why can’t you understand that unless Iran’s military might is diminished significantly, they will eventually wipe Israel off the face of the earth and continue to commit acts of terror against the United States and other countries it disagrees with? The current military operation against Iran is self-defense and therefore morally justifiable. This is especially true for Israel; they are fighting for survival. There would be no attacks on Iran unless they were a great threat to peace-loving nations.
Also, why did you give Iran’s ambassador an award that declares him (a radical, Christian-hating, Jew-hating Muslim) to be a Knight of the Grand Cross of the Order of Pius IX?
