After Pope Leo’s recent criticisms of the war, the response from Washington has been nothing short of "erratic." From J.D. Vance telling the Pontiff to be "careful" when discussing theology to Speaker Mike Johnson claiming the "Just War Doctrine" is a settled political matter, the lines between Church and State are getting dangerously blurry. Michael Steele gives a masterclass in moral clarity and breaks down the actual Catechism of the Catholic Church to see if this conflict actually meets the criteria for a "Just War."
