With all due respect to his holiness Pope Leo XIV and the Roman Catholic Church, being the Pope doesn’t mean Pope Leo XIV is right all the time as he criticizes President Trump’s war against Iran’s oppressive, despotic, terrorist, Islamic government of the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei a vile, sick, murderous theologian. This is not the true Islam religion; this is a sick, bastardized version of a righteous religion that has been corrupted by the Ayatollah and his regime.
The Holy Father said nothing when Iran’s religious leader the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei slaughtered 43,000 of his own Iranian citizens, mostly young people for protesting in the streets with signs and placards against his leadership and were gunned down in cold blood for protesting just a few months ago. (2nd amendment rights are very important) Pope Leo said nothing.
Ask the Pope that if President Trump murdered 43,000 Americans protesting in the streets like the Ayatollah did to his Iranian protesters, would he support the President by saying nothing like he is doing with the slaughter in Iran. I don’t think so. Perhaps the Pope is showing his political bias?
Does his holiness condemn the mass incarceration of the Uyghur’s in Xinjiang region of China? Does he not recognize and condemn the murdering of Christians in Syria, Africa and other countries by radical extremist Muslims?
Did he condemn the slaughter of Israelis and Americans in Israel on Oct 7th 2023? He does not demonstrate his knowledge of the history of Iran as being the number one terrorist country in the world using murder thru proxies like Hamas, Hezbollah, the PLO and the Houthis? Had he known this he would have spoken differently.
If the Pope realized that Iran financed the slaughter of 1250 Israelis and American civilians in Israel on Oct 7th 2023 and kidnapped 250 others, that Iran was behind the first World Trade Center bombing, the bombing of the USS Cole killing American servicemen, the bombing of the Khobar towers killing American servicemen, the bombing of the Marine barracks in Lebanon killing American servicemen, the murder of American diplomats, the taking of hostages at the US Embassy in Tehran, the support of Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, the main supplier of IED road bombs that murdered so many American soldiers and civilians, the constant bombing of Israeli villages for decades and so many other acts against the United States, Israel and just recently the countries around the Straits of Hormuz, would he have said anything differently?
Pope Leo XIV when he attended Villanova University, did not study history; he got his BA degree in math. It appears that the Pope does not know much about Iran’s history in terrorism because he is inadvertently supporting it by attacking the President for trying to eliminate tyranny and give Iran back to the people.
Iran is a government run by fringe Islamic religious fanatical zealots who not only kill their own citizens in mass in the streets for protesting but murders Christians and Jews all over the Middle East and Africa so the Pope is supporting a murderous regime lead by the radical Muslim Ayatollahs who are a sick fanatical group of mad religious zealots who want to rule the world under Islam, and terror is the main weapon of choice.
To be clear this is not the true and authentic Islam but one that is being bastardized by the Iranian theocratic regime.
The Pope’s intention while they may be genuine shows his ignorance and lack of knowledge of what the Iranian government is. He should go back to school at Villanova and study Middle Eastern history and the history of terrorism by Iran since 1979. Then he will understand what true justice is. Just because he is the Pope doesn’t make him smart all the time.
This is not intended to be disrespectful of the Holy Father or the Roman Catholic Church but remember The Pope is insulated, lives inside a walled country called The Vatican City protected by the Swiss guards, the local police and undercover bodyguards, and he studied mathematics at Villanova University, not history!
