Wed. Update: Pope Leo XIV Speaks Truth, To [Feckless, Lawless] Power — Anew.

Do go read all of it.

Candidly, I no longer adhere to the covenants of this faith [especially the unjust ones] even though I was raised up in it — but the leader of this church… is plainly in the right, here:

…In some of his strongest comments yet against the war, the American pope urged Americans and other people of good will to contact their political leaders and congressional representatives to demand they reject war and work for peace.

“Today as we all know there was this threat against all the people of Iran. This is truly unacceptable,” Leo said as he left his country house in Castel Gandolfo, south of Rome.

He was referring to Trump’s threat that a “whole civilization will die tonight” if Iran fails to meet his latest deadline to strike a deal that includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

Leo recalled his Easter appeal for peace and to reject war, “especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate, and which is not resolving anything….”

Onward, resolutely — to do more about fixing our lil’ blue dot, now.
