Trump deletes image of himself as Jesus-like saviour after backlash
AI Summary
Pope Leo XIV held a vigil for peace at St. Peter's Basilica on Saturday, denouncing the "delusion of omnipotence" as a driving force behind war. During the service, he emphasized that true strength lies in serving life, not in displays of power or the pursuit of wealth. His remarks coincided with the start of face-to-face talks between a U.S. delegation led by Vice President JD Vance and Iranian officials amidst a fragile ceasefire. The Pope's statements follow earlier criticism of President Trump's threats against Iran, which he deemed "truly unacceptable," citing both international law and moral concerns for the Iranian population. He warned that war divides humanity, while hope and faith unite.
