"Bishop James Massa, chairman of U.S. Catholic bishops’ doctrine committee, pushed back against Vice President JD Vance’s suggestion that Pope Leo XIV be more “careful when he talks about matters of theology” following the pontiff’s criticism of the war on Iran.
“For over a thousand years, the Catholic Church has taught just war theory and it is that long tradition the Holy Father carefully references in his comments on war,” Bishop Massa said in a statement. To be a just war, he said, “It must be a defense against another who actively wages war, which is what the Holy Father actually said: ‘He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war.’”
He added, “When Pope Leo XIV speaks as supreme pastor of the universal Church, he is not merely offering opinions on theology, he is preaching the Gospel.” —New York Times
