- Apr 17, 2026, 09:20 AMPope Leo XIV has strongly spoken against the misuse of religion for selfish military, political, and economic purposes. He warned that using God's name to justify violence is dangerous, especially during ongoing global conflicts. His comments come amid rising tensions linked to the Iran war.
The Pope made these remarks during his Apostolic Journey in Cameroon. He reminded people of the teachings of Jesus, saying peacemakers are blessed, but those who twist religion for personal gain are doing great harm. According to him, such actions bring sacred beliefs into darkness and disrespect.
His statement comes during a growing disagreement with Donald Trump over the role of the United States in the ongoing conflict involving Iran. The disagreement has created a visible divide between the Vatican and the U.S. leadership on issues of war and morality.
Pope Leo has consistently spoken against using religion to support violence. He believes that leaders who use faith to justify war are misrepresenting religious teachings. Instead, he continues to call for peace, dialogue, and cooperation among nations to solve global problems.
Earlier in March 2026, while speaking during Palm Sunday Mass at St. Peter's Square, the Pope made it clear that God does not support war. He said Jesus is the King of Peace and cannot be used to justify violence. He also stressed that God does not accept prayers from those who promote or engage in war.
The Pope's comments come at a time when some global leaders are using religion to defend military actions. He also criticized a world affected by oppression and leaders who value war over human life. Although he did not mention Trump directly, the U.S. leader had earlier attacked the Pope, accusing him of poor leadership and interfering in political matters.
