A Moment Of Clarity: When Politicians Lecture the Pope: The Truth About "Just War"

from The Michael Steele Podcast · host Michael Steele

After Pope Leo’s recent criticisms of the war, the response from Washington has been nothing short of "erratic." From J.D. Vance telling the Pontiff to be "careful" when discussing theology to Speaker Mike Johnson claiming the "Just War Doctrine" is a settled political matter, the lines between Church and State are getting dangerously blurry. Michael Steele gives a masterclass in moral clarity and breaks down the actual Catechism of the Catholic Church to see if this conflict actually meets the criteria for a "Just War."Catch Michael Steele on The Weeknight Mondays - Fridays at 7pm EST on MSNBC: https://www.msnbc.com/weeknightFollow Michael on X: https://x.com/MichaelSteeleFollow Michael on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/michaelsteele.bsky.socialFollow Michael on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chairman_steele/Follow Michael on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@chairman_steeleListen to The Michael Steele Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-michael-steele-podcast/id1412905534Watch The Michael Steele Podcast: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJNKzTkCZE9uNqPiKYw5eU5YkS_mMsr6oIf you enjoyed this, be sure to share it with a friend!
