Pope Leo answered whether his statement that “God does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war” applies to all who take up arms, even in self-defense, or only to unjust aggressors. Self-defense has always been allowed by the Church, Pope Leo XIV said. “To talk about just war today, itʼs a very complex problem. You have to analyze it on many levels, but ever since the entrance into the nuclear age, the whole concept of war has to be reevaluated with terms today,” Leo said. For a war to be justified, according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, it must be waged to fight against a grave evil, the damage caused by waging the war cannot be graver than the evil it is meant to eliminate, there must be a serious prospect of success, and all alternatives to war must have already been tried. The decision to go to war must be made by a lawful authority responsible for the common good. All criteria must be met to qualify as a just war.

This group of religious sisters is touching hearts across Spain with the way they bid farewell to Pope Leo. Standing outside the Apostolic Nunciature, they waved their white handkerchiefs as the Pope departed for his final event in Madrid before traveling to Barcelona. The simple gesture moved both the Holy Father and those gathered to see him off. On X, user Reyes Aranda identified the sisters as members of the Daughters of St. Mary of the Heart of Jesus, writing: “Their farewells, waving their white handkerchiefs, are part of the cherished memories of entire generations of us who passed through the Madre Velarde Schools. Some traditions never cease to touch the heart.” Our thanks to our friends at Europa Press for allowing us to share this beautiful video.
