The Catholic Church has responded to JD Vance saying “I think it's very, very important for the Pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology,”

POPE
ROPED THE DOPE
WASHINGTON - In light of recent public comments regarding the Catholic Church's teaching on war and peace, Bishop James Massa, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Committee on Doctrine, issued the following
statement:
"For over a thousand years, the Catholic Church has taught just war theory and it is that long tradition the Holy Father carefully references in his comments on war. A constant tenet of that thousand-year tradition is a nation can only legitimately take up the sword in self-defense, once all peace efforts have failed' (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 2308). That is, to be a just war it must be a defense against another who actively wages war, which is what the Holy Father actually said: 'He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war.'
"When Pope Leo XIV speaks as supreme pastor of the universal Church, he is not merely offering opinions on theology, he is preaching the Gospel and exercising his ministry as the Vicar of Christ. The consistent teaching of the Church is insistent that all people of good will must pray and work toward lasting peace while avoiding the evils and injustices that

So Qatar gets NATO Article 5 level protection, but Ukraine does not? This is raw corruption in action.
A screenshot of an X post by Ron Filipkowski (@RonFilipkow
..., 11h ago) stating: "This is pretty unbelievable. Qatar giving Trump that jet is really paying off for them in a big way." The post includes a quoted X post by Barak Ravid (@BarakRavid
) with an auto-translated Grok Show original message: "As part of the initiative to end the war in Gaza and as compensation to Qatar for the Israeli attack in Doha, President Trump signed on Monday a presidential order that dramatically upgrades the U.S. commitment to Qatar's security. This is an unprecedented security agreement between the U.S. and an Arab country. According to the presidential order, published today, 'The United States will regard any armed attack on the territory, sovereignty, or vital infrastructure of the State of Qatar as a threat to the peace and security of the United States.' The order further states: 'In the event of such an attack, the United States will take all appropriate and lawful measures – including diplomatic, economic, and if necessary, military measures – in order to defend the interests of the United States and the State of Qatar and to restore peace and stability.'"
