Trump calls Pope Leo ‘terrible’ in public attack after pontiff’s anti-war message

Published by Sam Flores

US President Donald Trump told reporters Sunday that he is “not a big fan” of Pope Leo XIV, after the global leader of Catholics made a plea for peace amid the war in the Middle East. The 70-year-old American pope publicly implored leaders on Saturday to end the violence, telling worshippers at St Peter’s Basilica: “Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war!” “I’m not a big fan of Pope Leo. He’s a very liberal person, and he’s a man that doesn’t believe in stopping crime,” Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. He accused the pontiff of “toying with a country that wants a nuclear weapon”. Trump later doubled down on his comments to reporters with a post on Truth Social, saying: “I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon.” “Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy,” he said.

He didn’t win. Ofir Berman for NPR hide caption toggle caption Ofir Berman for NPR TEL AVIV, Israel — The edgiest Israeli film that has come out during these last few years of war is “Yes,” which opened last week in select theaters in the U.S. The film begins with a pair of go-go dancers entertaining Israel’s army chief at a wild party during the Gaza war. In the starring role is one of the most provocative figures of Israel’s theater scene, 41-year-old actor Ariel Bronz. His character in the film is an avant-garde musician married to a dancer who, after the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas-led attack, decide to conform to the Israeli mainstream. They take on gigs performing for Israel’s elite. “They start to be entertainers slash clowns … in order to …

The Argument for Anti-War Pacifism

The Argument for Anti-War Pacifism

Published by Jenni Sidey

This post was originally published on Kronika: Filozofski magazin and has been republished with the permission of Kronika and the author. The basis of this text is the argument I presented at the debate “Is there a just war?” organized by the Philosophy and Religion Department of Bergen Community College in New Jersey on November 30, 2023. It is a purely personal statement, somewhat modified through conversation with friends, not a summary of philosophical research. Though the call for pacifism as a personal ethical and religious goal is certainly an inspiring vision, something we should all ultimately strive for, bearing in mind the state of the world we live in today, the more urgent is the call for universal anti-war pacifism, its proximal goal being cessation of present and prevention of any future armed conflicts. This, I believe, can only be achieved by abandoning the very idea of war as an acceptable means of resolving international conflicts. Growing up in Europe where the memory of the WW2 was still very much alive, learning of its …
