Pope Leo has been very active on social media lately, which really should be no surprise given his personal Twitter account history!
Remember this?
So, if you’re not caught up on the program, last month, the pope joined Twitter, and he took that opportunity to fire off a bunch of tweets about war.
“There is so much violence and so many wars in our world! Amid this horror that should provoke outrage—as people die in the name of military conquest—stands the call of Christ, who repeats: ‘Peace be with you!'”

He also wrote: “War is never inevitable. Weapons can and must fall silent, for they never solve problems but only intensify them. Those who sow peace will endure throughout history, not those who reap victims. Others are not enemies to hate but human beings with whom to speak.”
Well, with the US striking Iran this past weekend, the pope doubled down on his anti-war sentiment with this super viral tweet condemning the conflict.
“War does not solve problems; on the contrary, it amplifies them and inflicts deep wounds on the history of peoples, which take generations to heal. No armed victory can compensate for the pain of mothers, the fear of children, or stolen futures. May diplomacy silence the weapons! May nations chart their futures with works of peace, not with violence and bloodstained conflicts!”
People in the replies are, like, “Yep.”
“I would not have predicted when I was 18 that the Pope would be one of the sanest voices in international politics. So help us God,” one person commented.
A bunch of people said something like, “quickly becoming a fan of this man.”
“Not the Pope subtweeting the President of the United States!” another person wrote.
And this person *joked* “Yea the Pope definitely didn’t vote for Trump in 2024 lmao.”
