Charade: Pentagon Summoned Nuncio over Leo XIV's Anti-War Rhetoric
The meeting followed a speech by Leo XIV to diplomats in which he warned against “the imperialist occupation of the world” and urged leaders to abandon the “desire to dominate others.”
The Pentagon considered the speech as a bitter lecture against the USA.
Colby and his colleagues told the Nuncio that the Catholic Church had better take its side.
One U.S. official went so far as to mention the Avignon Papacy (1309–1377), when the popes were under strong influence from the French crown.
Cardinal Pierre sat through the lecture in silence.
