Our Moral Moment w/ Bishop William Barber & Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove

The War Is Not Over

President Donald Trump announced on social media that the Strait of Hormuz was open, a claim immediately rejected by Iranian officials who continued to fire on vessels. At the same time, Trump escalated his rhetoric against Pope Leo, portraying himself as a divine arbiter and accusing the pontiff of weakness. The Pope responded by invoking the Catholic Church’s just‑war doctrine, condemning any notion of total war or nuclear annihilation. The clash highlights a broader struggle between political authoritarianism and longstanding religious moral authority.
