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.
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.
yep, it basically always circles back to land theft and zionist racism.
And the US likes boogieman racism, religion and money, so we ally with Israel.
Ironically the US government has always stated that Iran is a natural culturally similar partner to the US, if we could ever get over our existing bad relationship and the reach of religious extremists in Iran. If Iranian and American commoners all sat down together at a bbq, highly likely we see a lot of similarities and like each other. Pretty sad state of affairs.
Honest to god, I think that Israel has blackmail on a ton of fucking people in the US, and they are pushing their puppets and blackmailing other people.
Post 9-11 one of the first countries to help the US in searching for UBL was Iran. Then, months later Bush comes out with his axis of evil bullshit and put Iran on the list. Of course they promptly stopped helping the US after that
Yeah. Seems to me that the Epstein ring was a world changing operation for Israel. I’m sure they started a new one and didnt just give up the whole method. Theres almost certainly a new Israeli pedo extortion ring running somewhere right now.
I’m sure there are multiple organizations like this running around the world, serving various interests.
There are a lot of bored decadently wealthy people who are the targets for such things, and their influences can sway populations and governments.
Frankly, this is a major national security risk.
