The Pope's stance on the Iran war should not be seen through the tiny binary of political discourse. Is the war the only option? No. Has everything possible been done before the war option was taken? Not at all. The biggest miss has been from the Iranian diaspora.
And I say all this based on this spiritual clarity on Islam:
Islam is the anti-religion. Islam is the religion of the Devil. Allah is not God. Allah is the Devil having distorted who or what God is. God is omnipotent. Allah, as described in the Koran, is not. Allah does not seem to have the power to enter human history, for example. There is no historical Muhammad. Runners run. Swimmers swim. Prophets prophecy. That is what they do. Isaiah was a prophet. Some of his prophecies are still coming true today. What prophecies have been attributed to Muhammad? There are none.
The Devil has managed to sell the Muslims the Brooklyn Bridge. Most Muslims think Allah is God. Allah is not God. Those who seek peace should do their best to help Muslims attain spiritual clarity on Islam.
But the Mahabharata and the Ramayana tell us that the truly evil do not reason. The truly evil fight to the finish. The last two ages ended with a war, as will this one. The way the forces of good minimize death and destruction is by attaining and helping attain spiritual clarity on Islam, and preparing for the war. An overwhelming force to minimize death and destruction when war becomes inevitable.
The Devil's way is tyranny. How did Islam enter Iran? Become Muslim or die. That is how. How does Iran stay Muslim? Stay Muslim or die. That is how. Utter tyranny.
There are no more wars in the next age. The next age has been vividly described in the Book of Isaiah.
So if the Muslims are human beings who have been led astray by the Devil into thinking Allah is God, then this is squarely in the Pope's domain. He has spent a lifetime separating sin from sinners. His compassion for the people of Iran is not misplaced.
Even at this juncture, I am wondering as to why the Iranian diaspora is not doing all it can do.
