"Pope Leo suggested on Friday that Christian political leaders who start wars should go to ​confession & assess whether they are following the teachings ‌of Jesus, without naming any specific leaders or conflicts.

'Do those Christians who bear grave responsibility in armed conflicts have the humility & courage ​to make a serious examination of conscience and to ​go to confession?' the pope asked in a speech ⁠to priests."

~ Joshua McElwee
