 Pope Leo Denounces ‘Delusion Of Omnipotence’ Driving US-Israeli War On Iran

The US-born pontiff has become an increasingly vocal critic of Washington’s war rhetoric, amid reports of Pentagon officials threatening the Vatican over its anti-war stance

Pope Leo XIV on 11 April denounced what he called a “delusion of omnipotence” fueling the US–Israeli war on Iran, urging political leaders to halt the fighting and pursue negotiations.

“Enough of the idolatry of self and money!” he said. “Enough of the display of power! Enough of war!”

Speaking during an evening prayer service in St Peter’s Basilica in Rome, Leo delivered his strongest remarks yet as US-Iran talks began in Pakistan and a fragile ceasefire was held.

The US-born pontiff did not explicitly name Washington or President Donald Trump.

However, his message appeared directed at US officials who have promoted military dominance and framed the war in religious terms.
