The Pope has condemned tyrants who spend billions on wars

Pope Leo XIV has sharply criticized world leaders who are spending billions on wars.

Sky News reports this.

The pontiff stated that the world is being “ravaged by a handful of tyrants” and criticized politicians who ignore the consequences of war for people.

He also condemned the use of religion as a justification for armed conflicts and called for a change in global policy.

The statement came after criticism directed at him by U.S. President Donald Trump, though the Pope did not name specific leaders.

The head of the Vatican, Pope Leo XIV, officially responded to U.S. President Donald Trump’s sharp remarks regarding the Church’s position on the conflict in Iran.

On Sunday, April 12, Pope Leo XIV addressed the international community with an impassioned appeal to maintain focus on the war in Ukraine.
