Greetings. As a Roman Catholic, I will take what the Holy Father says quite seriously and with gravitas befitting his station. However, in spite of his call alongside the bishop of Oklahoma City to get us to lobby against the war, I remain convinced that this war is justified so long as the IRGC remain in power. I will not call Pope Leo XIV a heretic, but I will call him grievously misinfinformed in this sole instance. Remain steadfast in committing to the war effort and our surgical strikes on the Revolutionary Guard leadership. It is as essential to help the Iranian people in all necessary ways to overthrow this regime as it was to topple the mafia running Germany in the 1940s. In their conduct regarding the Strait of Hormuz, let us not forget that the IRGC and the Houthis are nothing more than pirates. They must be given no oxygen to legitimize their claims.
