Naturalistic “Peace” from an Antipope: The Apostasy of Leo XIV’s Middle East Statement
The Vatican News portal reports that “Pope Leo XIV” expressed “profound sorrow” for victims of bombings in the Middle East, specifically mentioning children and Maronite priest Fr. Pierre El-Rahi, killed in Lebanon. The statement, released by the Holy See Press Office, says the “Pope” is “following what is happening with concern and prays that every hostility may cease as soon as possible.” The article quotes Fr. Toufic Bou Merhi lamenting the war and stating, “Enough war; enough violence. Weapons, as the Pope said, do not generate peace; they generate massacres and hatred. All we ask is to live with a little dignity.”
