The Vatican has sharply criticised Donald Trump and JD Vance over their defence of the “just war” theory, arguing the doctrine was shaped in an era “before drones” and fails to address modern warfare. Vatican editorial director Andrea Tornielli warned that advanced weapons raise serious moral concerns, making it harder to justify any war as “just.” The clash intensified after Pope Leo XIV criticised war, prompting pushback from Vance and a sharp response from Trump. Adding to the controversy, Trump’s viral AI-generated Jesus image has reignited outrage, further deepening the political and religious divide.
