Today, Leo XIV touched on the concept of a just war. During the flight
from Rome to Madrid, he told Franca Giansoldati that “there is no just
war” in Iran.
Leo XIV pointed to his encyclical “Magnifica Humanitas”, which says that just war theory is “now outdated.
Today,
he repeated: "I think this has already been made very clear: the notion
of a just war no longer applies. The problem is that just war theory
developed in centuries when no one could have imagined the weapons we
have today or humanity's capacity for destruction."
Leo XIV made
“overcoming the theory of the ‘just war'” one of the themes of the June
26-27 summit of cardinals he convened at the Vatican.
