      If it’s a just war, then why doesn’t Mike Johnson get congressional authorization for it, ya know, like is supposed to happen according to the U.S. Constitution.

    2. Hilarious these shitbags trying to lecture the pope on biblical understanding when they possess none. The just war doctrine emphasizes that war *may* be justified in extreme cases of self defense. As usual these chucklefucks only read the headline and not the article. There are several criteria required to consider war justified, the US meets none of them, Iran currently meets ALL of them.

      I know what the us doing is bad but the pope isn’t spitting any wisdom either. God has sanctioned a lot of wars and death

      Pope Leo grew up in Dolton, Illinois.
      Go Chicago’s south side and Al Capone.
      He is the most powerful American in the world.

    5. It’s Mike Johnson who doesn’t understand the Just War Doctrine, it’s not self defense, at least not for the United States.

      It’s entirely valid within Catholic teaching for Pope Francis (or any pope) to argue the United States should avoid involvement, because the Catholic Church’s Just War doctrine places a strong presumption against war unless strict conditions are clearly met.

    6. Who developed the just war doctrine? Augustinians. Guess who is an Augustinian?

      Hint: no one in the Trump administration.

    7. β€œJust War” is an Augustinian principle. Pope Leo is an Augustinian scholar. He has spent years studying this and other principles of St. Augustine. Lil Mikey needs to STFU.

      Imagine the level of brainrot needed to think this ill-concieved strategic blunder with Iran is a just war.

      So from context I’m guessing the Just War Doctrine states that if your leader is a narcissistic pedo embroiled in a massive sex trafficking coverup and you’ve already tried extremely public kidnappings of your country’s most vulnerable workers but now you’re getting your ass kicked by performance artists and hockey fans, it’s OK to bomb a bunch of civilians in the Middle East and secure the Strait of Hormuz … for Iran
