In this episode of PIJN News, Dr. Chaps, former Navy Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt, explores the controversial stance of Pope Leo XIV as he adopts a pacifist approach, challenging the historic Catholic teaching on war and the just war theory of St. Augustine. The discussion delves into the theological and ethical implications of Pope Leo’s statements, which oppose centuries of Catholic doctrine, and the broader political context involving President Donald Trump and the U.S.-Iran conflict. Dr. Chaps offers a detailed analysis, drawing from biblical scripture and Catholic theologians, to argue against Pope Leo’s perspective and uphold traditional teachings.
