[quote=Anonymous][quote]Is it more nuanced than this?[/quote] Yes, the Pope is only infallible when he speaks ex cathedra or from the chair. That's exceedingly rare. The last time was in 1950. Other pronouncements, particularly those in encyclicals, are generally viewed as binding on Catholic practice. There are Catholic doctrines which apply here. One is the doctrine of a just war, which you can read about here: https://www.milarch.org/catholic-teaching-on-peace/ What Pope Leo is saying is that Trump's war in Iran doesn't satisfy these conditions and thus it is an immoral war. Hope that helps.[/quote]
