Speaking on Palm Sunday, Pope Leo addressed those Christians who are not Christians in his condemnation of the ongoing war in Iran. “"Brothers and sisters, this is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war,” Leo said. “He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying: ‘Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood.’”
