Pope Needs to Read Scripture, Listen to the Byrds, and Back Trump

A war of words escalated between Pope Leo XIV and President Donald Trump early this month when the president promised that "a whole civilization will die" if Iran didn't make a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a statement the pope found "truly unacceptable."

This set off an intense verbal feud between the two leaders.

However, the pontiff appeared to have enough by Saturday when he said it was "not in my interest at all" to debate the president about the Iran war, but that he would continue preaching the Gospel's message of peace.
