*** Pope Leo: "God Rejects the Prayers of Leaders Who Start Wars and Have Blood on their Hands ***
"Pope Leo said on Sunday that God rejects the prayers of leaders who start wars and have "hands full of blood", in unusually forceful remarks as the illegal US-Israeli war on the people of Iran entered its second month.
Addressing tens of thousands in St. Peter's Square on Palm Sunday, the celebration that opens the holy week leading up to Easter for the world's 1.4 billion Catholics, the pontiff called the conflict "atrocious" and said Jesus cannot be used to justify any wars."
