Vile, bootlicking worm Mike Johnson says ""I'm not one to criticize clerics," then criticizes Pope. Hashtag WEASEL.

[Miles Archer]

During a House Republican press conference on Wednesday, Johnson was asked about President Donald Trump's recent attacks on the pope.

"I'm not one to criticize clerics," the speaker said. "And, you know, a pontiff or any religious leader can say anything they want. But obviously if you wade into political waters, I think you should expect some political response, and I think the pope's received some of that."

"You know, I was taken a little bit aback, just honestly, frankly, by — something that was said, I think he said it several days back, something about those who engage in war, you know, that Jesus doesn't hear their prayers or something," he continued. "You know, it is a very well-settled matter of Christian theology. There's something called the just war doctrine. There's a time to every purpose under heaven. I think what the president's comments, what the vice president's comments reflect is their understanding deep in the, you know, the SCIF and the classified briefings of the stakes that are so high in the situation that we're facing and the fact that you had the nation that was the largest sponsor of terrorism now having had that ability taken away from them."

Johnson predicted that "millions of innocent people will be able to keep their lives and not be killed by terrorists" because of Trump's war in Iran.

1. "There's something called the just war doctrine. There's a time to every purpose under heaven."

Oh, really? "It is a very well-settled matter of Christian theology"?

Those conditions have not been met by the attacks on Iran:

The Catechism of the Catholic Church lays out the conditions for just war in paragraph 2309:

the damage inflicted by the aggressor on the nation or community of nations must be lasting, grave, and certain;
all other means of putting an end to it must have been shown to be impractical or ineffective;
there must be serious prospects of success;
the use of arms must not produce evils and disorders graver than the evil to be eliminated. The power of modern means of destruction weighs very heavily in evaluating this condition.

7. He is a fake righteous Christian

If he ever was truly religious, he sold out to become Speaker and Trump’s biggest asskisser.

6. I love the controversy

I don't think this is hurting the Pope at all. It's interesting, because the Pope was recently at St. Augustine's hometown in Algeria. When Augustine was there, it was Christian. The Pope may just be trying to win over some young people.
