Sadly, this doesn't surprise me.
Of the three pictured below, the smiling guy in handcuffs (Dan Berrigan) is the one who is most free! ๐

Former CIA operative involved in 1953 coup:
โIf we had not got rid of Mossadegh, Iran today would be a good member of the family of nations, a socialist democratic country ... โ
Violence breeds violence!

Appalling behaviour by that soldier.
But, as is usually the case, violence inflicted on a plaster statue seems to evoke more media outrage & IDF reaction than the death, maiming, misery and terror inflicted on tens of thousands of flesh-and-blood human images of God.
Kyrie eleison! โ๏ธ
Addressing media coverage of Trump's attacks, Pope Leo chooses his words carefully.
He says that he is not interested in a debate.
But he does NOT say that his denunciation of warmongers isn't applicable to Trump or others, especially those claiming divine approval.

Below is 'รras an Uachtarรกin', official residence of the President of Ireland.
If any incumbent unilaterally demolished part of the building there would be national outrage.
I'm sure the same is true of other nations' official edifices.
I find the muted response to Trump's WH vandalism very strange.
It is more than likely that Pope Leo's remarks were motivated also by the appalling incident below.
When he was elected last year, I'm sure the last thing he imagined was an attempt to silence his ministry by intimidating his family back in Chicago. I'm sure he must be worried about his brother. ๐

For Pope Leo to visit the United States under present circumstances would be far more scandalous than his simply staying away.

Below: some of 120+ innocent children murdered in the strike on Shajareh Tayyebeh school at start of Trump's war on Iran.
They may be forgotten by politicians, media & fickle public opinion - like thousands of forgotten victims in Gaza & elsewhere.
May God's justice be upon those responsible. ๐
"The Church is like a great ship being pounded by the waves of lifeโs different stresses. Our duty is not to abandon ship, but to keep her on her course." (St. Boniface)
The Barque of St. Peter - nobody's blockade will ever manage to impede the progress of this vessel!

Appalling that Pope Leo's brother John (+ family/neighbours) becomes the target of a death threat because the first U.S.-born Pope preaches a message of peace and love.
Not at all coincidental that this comes immediately after Trump's "I don't like Pope Leo".

The report below and accompanying photo give the impression that the target of the bomb threat was Pope Leo's eldest brother, Louis, praised by Trump as "all MAGA".
In fact, the target was John Prevost, who is much closer in age and outlook to Pope Leo.

Pope Leo today - refers to the "masters of war" - aka "a handful of tyrants" and their enablers - who are responsible for so much killing and devastation.
God's judgement be upon them! โ๏ธ๐
Trump re-posted a fan's message supposedly illustrating then-Cardinal Prevost's anti-Trump comments on social media.
Inadvertently, Trump's re-post highlights a link to strong criticism (in 2015) of his own "anti-Immigrant rhetoric" by none other than Cardinal Timothy Dolan! ๐
Erstwhile Trump cheerleader Marshall has changed his MAGA-Catholic tune!
Marshall was on the advisory board of 'Catholics for Trump' & led gullible followers astray.
Scandalously, he also promoted efforts to undermine Pope Francis.

The more things change, the more they stay the same!
But now we got weapons
Of the chemical dust
If fire them weโre forced to
Then fire them we must
One push of the button
And a shot the world wide
And you never ask questions
When Godโs on your side
