...here's an excerpt from the attached article...btw, where do UHND OF posters stand on this?

“I found it incredibly disrespectful — especially the AI image of him portraying himself as Jesus,” said Sarah Jones, an undergraduate student from North Carolina who considers herself a moderate independent.
Jones said it was “weird” that Trump deleted the post and claimed he thought the image portrayed him as a doctor. Even stranger, she said, was Trump targeting Pope Leo “just for being for peace.” Just weeks ago, Jones noted, the president had praised Notre Dame as he mourned the Catholic university’s legendary football coach, Lou Holtz, who was an outspoken Trump supporter.
“It’s a complete 180,” she said. “What is going on in your head that would make you say these things, or like, do any of this?”

Leo needs to have a clue.

Let's now ask the students about the Pope's selective outrage over worldly issues, starting with complete silence on China's human rights policies, Nigeria's assault on Christians, the mullah's murder of thousands of its own citizens in Iran, and the child trafficking and sex slave trade that is all part of the pontiff's open border policy for the United States. I'm sure these same students know very little of any of this. All of a sudden, the Democrat Left has become righteous and religious. It wasn't all that long ago they invaded a church in Minny, set fire to the Church of the presidents in DC, and yelped like clapping seals at the arrest of Catholics and Christians. If the panicans among the Rs over yet another left created issue is keeping them sleepless at night, all I can say is quit listening to what the left is feeding you.
are you on?...and why?
btw, in case you are averse to reading links...here's the text. Is there anything about it you disagree with?...if so, please explain.

WASHINGTON – In light of recent public comments regarding the Catholic Church’s teaching on war and peace, Bishop James Massa, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Committee on Doctrine, issued the following statement:
“For over a thousand years, the Catholic Church has taught just war theory and it is that long tradition the Holy Father carefully references in his comments on war. A constant tenet of that thousand-year tradition is a nation can only legitimately take up the sword ‘in self-defense, once all peace efforts have failed’ (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 2308). That is, to be a just war it must be a defense against another who actively wages war, which is what the Holy Father actually said: ‘He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war.’
“When Pope Leo XIV speaks as supreme pastor of the universal Church, he is not merely offering opinions on theology, he is preaching the Gospel and exercising his ministry as the Vicar of Christ. The consistent teaching of the Church is insistent that all people of good will must pray and work toward lasting peace while avoiding the evils and injustices that accompany all wars.”
