Leo Must First Condemn the War in the Church before Condemning Trump’s War

David Martin | The Daily Knight

There are people today who claim they love peace and who blow around soft words of peace to cajole the masses while they themselves are at war with God and moral authority. These agents are known as the Communists and unfortunately many of them now occupy the highest positions in the Church.

As of late, Pope Leo is saying that we must never use God's name to justify the pursuit of war, but this doesn’t gel with Catholic teaching. St. Thomas Aquinas systematized the church’s just war teachings, establishing three basic criteria to justify the use of military force: authority, cause and intention.

Leo condemns the idea of invoking God to bless war, so why does he invoke God to bless the war against tradition that rages today in the Church? Things like LGBTQ inclusion, Synodality, Modernism, Humanism, the praise of Islam, and the trashing of Holy Tradition all spell war against God, so why does Leo invoke God to bless these causes?

At his Palm Sunday Mass on March 29, Leo said "God doesn't listen to the prayers of those who wage war," arguing that Jesus Christ "rejects war." Christ indeed rejects war against the innocent, but he doesn’t reject just wars that protect the innocent.

Not all Wars are Bad

If a nation is under attack where its people are endangered and murdered, the leader of that country has a solemn duty to defend that country with a war of defense – God requires it. And if taking the offensive is needed to prevent further advance of a malicious war, so be it.  

Let us not forget that it was God himself who commanded the Old Testament kings to go to war and kill thousands of Philistines and other offenders. In the name of God they went forward to protect God's people and they were rewarded for it, not punished. Were these holy kings guilty of using God's name in vain? God forbid!

In a recent post on X, Leo said that God "is never on the side 1 of those who once wielded the sword." Really? Is he saying that God was not on the side of the Americans who liberated France from the Nazis? Is he saying that God was against the Americans who liberated the Holocaust camps? 

In the same post Leo said, "Military action will not create space for freedom or times of peace." So is he saying that the courage of our American soldiers didn't bring freedom and peace to countless prisoners and to the world in general? Has he forgotten Reagan’s philosophy of “Peace through Strength?” The Nazi prisoners that were rescued thanked America from the bottom of their hearts, so shouldn’t Leo thank America with them?

Leo said that Christ “did not arm himself, or defend himself, or fight any war.” Not so. Christ was at war with the Pharisees for three years and rebuked them daily. Leo uses this verbiage to promote the false meekness of putting up the white flag of cowardice.

God Does Not Bless Any Conflict?

Leo's statements are largely in refence to the U.S. assault on Iran, but this war is being used as a springboard to speak in a general way against any military action. Leo says, "God does not bless any conflict," but that all depends on what kind of conflict it is. We were placed on earth to battle satan and make our way to the Kingdon victorious for the Father. The Bible itself says that a chaste generation triumphs forever, “winning the reward of undefiled conflicts.” (Wisdom 4:2) Has Leo forgotten that the Church on earth is the Church Militant that is called to spiritually fight the enemies of God?  

Hypocrisy

Leo accuses Trump of invoking God to bless the war in Iran, but is it not worse to invoke God to bless the war against Catholic Tradition? In the name of God Leo allows the enemies of God to overrun his Church. In the name of God he promotes heresy, modernism, and the blessing of LGBTQ. 2 In the name of God he promotes the communist ideologies of climate action and environmentalism for the advance of a communistic and borderless one-world government. And in the name of God, Leo is continuing Francis’ legacy of oppressing the Traditional Latin Mass.

Hence, the real war being waged today is that of using the God’s name to mislead souls with heresy. Francis passed this errant legacy on to Leo and now Leo is passing it on to us. Francis warred against the Church and now Leo continues this war under the guise of hating war.

On April 21, Leo all but canonized Francis for his revolution against the Faith, declaring as ‘fact’ that Francis ‘is in heaven.’ In the spirit of Francis, Leo insinuates that tradition-minded Catholics are hell-bound for their war against modernism and change. 

The Most Destructive War of All Time

Yes, there is now raging in the Church a war that dwarfs any war that has ever been fought in human history. It is a spiritual war to oppress Christ’s legacy (the Mass) and to bring about a new ecumenical religion of man, yet Leo has done nothing to end this war against the Faith. If he is so against war, why does he dignify it?

As an appointed shepherd, he has a duty to stand up and admonish these Judases in Rome who use religion to advance their own private interests. Instead, he “dialogues” with them and allows them to step on Christ’s flock to avoid persecution and to gain the acceptance of man. Shall we not say that Leo is a hireling of the New World Order?

If Leo expects the war in Iran to stop, he must first stop the war against Christ in his Church, because when all is said and done, this war against the Gospel is what is fueling the middle east war. For Rome no longer brings the Gospel but now brings a new gospel of dialogue, synodality, and revolution that is incurring God’s wrath. Wars are truly “a punishment for man’s sins.”

Assault on Iran not a Just move

This discussion cannot be complete without stating that the writer of this commentary does not support the U.S. war on Iran on the grounds that it was a needless and reckless move that has placed the world in jeopardy. Trump is a good and just man but he made a mistake by allowing the Zionists to push him into this middle east crisis. Leo is justified in criticizing this particular war, but he is not justified in condemning all war. Where does he find the room to do this?

Leo needs to prove his hate for war by putting a stop to the war in the Church. Let him openly rebuke the Modernists, Communists, Muslims, and LGBTQ people for their war against God. Before speaking against Trump, let him first call out the war mongers in his own household that have reduced the Church to a spiritual pig pen. If he does this, then we can take him seriously.

1. In the Gospel we read that Peter as a regular rule carried a sword in his scabbard, yet Jesus never told him not to carry it or use it. The one exception was when Peter cut off the ear of Malchus and Jesus told him to put his sword back into his scabbard because it was not the time and place to use it. Jesus was simply rebuking Peter for trying to stop his Passion.

2. On April XX, Leo told reporters that the Church’s position on LGBTQ blessings will not change. There is no plan to delete or add to what has already been established concerning Francis pro-LGBTQ policy. He says it is a done deal.
