Morning Note

Lunatics like Pete Hegseth have spent months pretending the Iran War is what Jesus wanted. Pope Leo issued another reminder on Tuesday that those unhinged zealots are completely detached from reality. 

“There is no such thing as a holy war,” Leo said in a video message to a gathering of religious leaders. “Only peace is holy.”
