This week, President Trump unveiled his 20-point plan for peace in Gaza. Several Arab nations, including Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Qatar, and Egypt, support the agreement. The world is still waiting to see if Hamas will accept the deal.
If Hamas doesn't agree to the deal, President Trump warned that Israel will have the "full backing" of the US to "do what you have to do" and end Hamas.
President Trump's peace plan has another ally now: Pope Leo XIV.
Speaking to journalists tonight in Castel Gandolfo, Pope Leo XIV praises President Trump’s Peace Plan for Gaza, saying: “We hope they [Hamas] accept it; it seems to be a realistic proposal”, with the Pope reiterating the need for a ceasefire and a release of all the hostages, adding “there are interesting elements, we hope Hamas accepts it within the established timeframe.”

Of the peace agreement Pope Leo XIV said, "There are interesting elements, we hope Hamas accepts it within the established timeframe."
Pope Leo has long called for an end to the war between Israel and Hamas. When an Israeli missile accidentally hit the Holy Family Church in Gaza, killing three and injuring ten others, the Pope said, "I express my profound sadness regarding last Thursday's attack by the Israeli army on the Catholic Parish of the Holy Family in Gaza City, which as you know killed three Christians and gravely wounded others."
The Pope continued, "I pray for the victims, Saad Issa Kostandi Salameh, Foumia Issa Latif Ayyad, Najwa Ibrahim Latif Abu Daoud, and I am particularly close to their families and to all the parishioners. I again call for an immediate halt to the barbarism of the war and for a peaceful resolution of the conflict."
Did he then condemn him for being a climate change sceptic?
I’m not Catholic, but I think between this and the moving sermon he gave about Charlie Kirk, I am really warming up to Pope Leo.
Perhaps he will turn out to be as inspiring as Pope John Paul.
He has the advantage of being able to speak English just like a native, as well, making him easy to understand. (Yes, I know he’s from Chicago.)
RE: the moving sermon he gave about Charlie Kirk, I am really warming up to Pope Leo.
Never heard of this sermon from Pope Leo. Could you please direct me to a link? Thinks.
What about the UN?
Someone in the American Embassy, Vatican, should deliver a MAGA ballcap to His Holiness.
There are several YouTube videos of the sermon. I don’t recall which one I listened to originally, but here is one I found quite good:

Of course, the sermon is the same in all of the videos. But the videos aren’t all the same.
This is AI, didn’t happen.
.
Quite frankly I don’t hear much from Pope Leo - and that makes for a welcome change from Frankie.
This new Pope has lost all credibility, when he agreed that Durbin should be awarded acclaim even though he is an avid baby killer. To top it off, he wants open borders (except at the Vatican) and protection for murderers.
