After Pope Leo XIV denounced what he called a “delusion of omnipotence” behind US aggression against Iran, a Catholic priest and researcher said President Donald Trump’s attacks on him reveal both a crisis of faith and a strategic failure.
In an interview with the Press TV website, Christopher Clohessy pointed to the “anger” of the US president over his failure in the war against the Islamic Republic of Iran, which led him to launch a verbal attack on Pope Leo XIV after the latter slammed the aggression.
“Donald Trump, like many of those around him, claims Christianity as his faith and way of life, but this is a massively questionable claim considering his words and actions,” he said.
“Quite clearly, he knows that America has not won its war against Iran – in fact, it is Iran who is at this moment victorious,” he said, adding that Iran’s victory is “morally and from the point of view of what is right and just, and also because against all odds it held out against an unjust attack.”
The unprovoked US-Israeli aggression on Iran, which began on February 28 with airstrikes assassinating senior Iranian officials and expanded to target schools, hospitals, energy and road infrastructure, and residential areas, drew sharp condemnation from the Vatican. (more...)
