Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican secretary of state, said on Thursday that the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran does not meet the Catholic Church’s criteria for a just war.
“No, it does not seem to meet the conditions,” he told reporters on the sidelines of an academic conference at the Vatican Apostolic Library.
When asked by EWTN News about the decision of the United States to attack Iran, Parolin referred to recent remarks by Cardinal Robert McElroy, archbishop of Washington, D.C.
In an interview with his archdiocesan newspaper, The Catholic Standard, McElroy said the intervention in Iran failed to meet several conditions required by the Church’s teaching on just war, including that the benefits of this war will not “outweigh the harm which will be done.”
“He explained this point very well,” Parolin said, referring to McElroy’s statement.
Parolin’s comments follow those of Pope Leo XIV in a statement given to journalists on Tuesday at Castel Gandolfo, the papal villa south of Rome, when he renewed his call for an unconditional ceasefire, saying that “death and pain caused by these wars is a scandal for the entire human family.”

Then it is not an official position of the Catholic Church. They had better get their story straight
Not just for breakfast?
Are they not aware that Islam has been at war with Christians for centuries? Christian Civilization use to have two separate capitals. Islam crushed the one on the Eastern side. Their wonderful church is now a mosque. Talk about clueless!
i wonder if Pope Urban !! would have agreed in 1088 when Christian pilgrims were being assaulted, robbed and killed on their way to the Holy Land?
(Vatican secretary of state says war on Iran is not just)
Well, how about that...
Then there was pope Frankie and the keffiyeh display...
WHEN THE BARBARIANS ARE AT HIS GATE-—THEN WHAT ????
Pedophile priest aren’t just either.
Fools run the Church, pederasts and catamites. Did the Vatican bother to condemn Iranian cluster bombs over Israel?
They were at the gate years ago. Tens of thousands of Shiite militants were let into country without any vetting by the Biden Administration. They are now here, and we are completely vulnerable to them. We need to focus on getting them out, not on some other country's war on the other side of the earth.
And how many divisions does the Pope have?
Islamists slaughtering 30-40 thousand not a problem though.
Easter is coming up. Stick to feeding the sheep.
“Cardinal” Parolin does choir boys.
>> And how many divisions does the Pope have?
Arguably about a half dozen. The Catholics are very divided these days. There’s the Pagans and the Ecumenists and the Latin Faithful and the Islamosymps and the namblas and the...
Wow, the Vatican is wrong again, call the NYT.
But Iran’s terrorism is just? The Catolic Church has lost its way for sure.
Who asked the perverted heretic anyway?
Now, you are going back to more traditional times and you know how much the Vatican hates Catholic tradition, for example, the Traditional Latin Mass
Hear Hear
Let the Vatican focus on cleaning up their past transgressions.
