Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs,” Leo wrote Friday morning on X. “Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.”  Leo, a Chicago native and the first American pope in the 2000-year history of the Catholic Church, has been a vocal…
