Pope Leo XIV is gearing up to write new guidelines on when Christians can justify war after JD Vance suggested he was better suited to discuss the topic than the pontiff.
Pope Leo, who has been targeted by the vice president and President Donald Trump for condemning the deeply unpopular Iran conflict, will hold a secret meeting with the world’s cardinals on Friday to discuss whether the “just war” theory needs updating in an era of drones, cyber warfare, and nuclear weapons, according to Politico.
In April, the pope cited the doctrine established by St. Augustine in the fifth century to condemn the war in Iran, noting that disciples of Christ are “never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs.”
