Hey Johnson, you're deliberately misquoting the Pope to manipulate the masses, Mikey. Pope Leo said, "He [Jesus] does not listen to the prayers of those who *wage* war, but rejects them." The US waged war. The US started it – not Iran.
Even for a degenerate like Johnson, this is a stunning misrepresentation. Just War theory delineates when it is permissible to go to war if there are no other appropriate options & what the ethical limits to how such a war can be conducted. Preemptive attack for incoherent reasons is not covered.
Johnson couldn't articulate his own religious convictions, let alone those of an entirely different Christian sect. Oh, and the current pope, not just by virtue of being the POPE, is a world-class expert on ecclesiastical law. Johnson should just go back to fapping to his son's porn collection.
Neguse: "Despite all of that, Speaker Johnson made the decision to gavel the House & send everyone home. Now we're back 2 weeks later & what has the majority decided is the most pressing issue to debate? Apparently it's a resolution commemorating a bill that the GOP passed last year. It's absurd."
Despite what you may have heard, the Pope is only infallible when speaking ex cathedra about doctrine, and there's a whole procedure.
That being said, this Pope is a canon lawyer and was Francis's chief legal advisor. He knows more about Catholic just war doctrine than Johnson, a Southern Baptist.
We, in the UK, shot ourselves in the foot by cutting ourselves off from the EU followed by the daily nightmare of what shitshow PM Johnson would cause each day. We thought it would be the biggest case of self harm ever. Well, until the US said "Hold my beer" by electing Donald Trump, again 😂
Cory Mills (R-Fla) has faced months of scrutiny over alleged campaign finance violations and threats to release nude videos of an ex.
Tuesday he told Speaker Johnson he was “unfairly lumped in” with Swalwell, Gonzales, and Cherfilus‑McCormick.
No—you’re right where you should be, Cory.
People keep mistaking this as though Johnson/Vance are acting like Iran is a just war, when in fact they’re doing the much funnier thing of acting like they know more about religion than the pope
Here's the video of this morning's Senate Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs Committee hearing on ... the Second Amendment:

My opening statement starts at 52:25. My ... exchange ... with Senator Johnson starts at 1:10:50.
If I were religious, I'd point out that Mike Johnson, for all his "Christian" posturing, refers to an Old Testament quote – he can't use a New Testament quote for his attack on the Pope. Johnson, Vance, Hegseth, et. al., love the effin' fire and brimstone, but they know ZERO about the beatitudes.

Happy for young people and for the British Council which was gutted under Johnson's Govt. It's crumbs compared to the FoM I and British people of my generation enjoyed, but owts better than nowt as some would say round where I was brought up.
Please understand… Mike Johnson is from Bible-thumping part of the South, far away from very Catholic New Orleans & Cajun country. Don’t expect Johnson & his evangelical followers to speak with any authority on religious doctrine unless you are wanting to know about fire & brimstone.
as an atheist and lapsed catholic, I endorse this message to Vance, Johnson, and the great Know-Nothing, Trump.
Just War *Theory*, not doctrine, is, of course, Augustine not Jesus.
There has been exactly one just war in human history, and guys like Johnson and the rest of the GOP are cozying up to supporters of the side that lost that war.
But I wouldn’t expect an evangelical to know any of that.
Between Johnson and everyone else closely associated with this administration, we really need better healthcare in the US since they never see or hear anything.
Was it a gaffe that Johnson just made the argument that politics and religion should be SEPARATE? Seems to me he just did, and he just gave Democrats everywhere the sound bite to use against their political opponents who try to say they should both be equal. Even in violation of the First Amendment.
Really surprised to hear that Johnson and Vance were wrong. They’re normally spot on about doctrinal matters.
JOHNSON: you ever hear of Just War doctrine? CHECKMATE, POPE
CHOTINER: so the Iran war, it’s ‘just’ according to this doctrine?
JOHNSON: …now wait a minute
So credible accusations of sexual assault is what brings Johnson for calls of punishment.
Has someone told him about this guy called Donald Trump?
I swear that Trump, Vance, Johnson, et al. do not know that:
- the Holy Sea is a sovereign juridical entity (read: basically a country) and
- that the Pope is the executive of the Holy Sea (read: the head of the country).
There is a just war doctrine. The Pope was referring to it in calling our attacks on Iran unjust.
At least Johnson is a Protestant arguing with the Pope about theology.
🚨 JUST IN: Disgraced Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) could be expelled as soon as NEXT WEEK, per Speaker Johnson
YES!! The attempt of Vance and Johnson to gaslight in the name of religion for purposes of greed, hatred and cruelty is utterly vile!
