Vatican accuses EU of double standards on war
Pope Leo XIV is rewriting the Church's guidelines on just war, while the Vatican criticizes the EU for double standards.
The Vatican has accused the European Union of applying double standards when it comes to war. In a related move, Pope Leo XIV has begun clarifying the Church's stance on when wars are justified, seeking to rewrite the ancient guidelines on just war theory. The Pope's initiative has drawn criticism from figures such as U.S. Vice President JD Vance, who has questioned the pontiff's theological credentials on the matter. Leo XIV aims to update the Church's position in light of modern conflicts and perceived hypocrisy by international actors. This development could reshape Catholic moral teaching and influence global diplomatic discussions.
