Pope Leo rallies Spain against the U.S. and Israel
After being welcomed by Spain’s king on Saturday, Pope Leo xiv praised the Spanish government’s opposition to wars. Spain has been a vocal critic of Israel and the U.S. war against Iran and its terrorist proxies. Yesterday, he was greeted by more than 1.2 million people. Not even the most famous soccer teams draw such a crowd. He used the opportunity to encourage Spain’s opposition to the U.S. In a historic first, he addressed members of Spain’s parliament at the Congress of Deputies in Madrid today. “Every war ultimately constitutes a painful defeat of the capacity to negotiate,” he said. “True security, however, stems from justice, patient dialogue, respect for international law and a policy capable of placing the lives of peoples above the interests that profit from war.” International law did not prevent Iran-backed Hamas terrorists from murdering, raping and torturing Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023. Nor did it prevent Iran from pursuing nuclear weapons with the goal of wiping out Israel. Bible prophecy shows that the Catholic Church will fuel even more hostility toward the U.S. and Israel in the future.
