With One god, there is but one moral authority....but after much back and forth, he means the pope is using prudence and only speaking to those that he feels respects his message

No evidence suggests Iran was actively building nuclear weapons as of 2026. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and experts confirm Iran had not enriched uranium to weapons-grade levels, and key facilities were damaged in recent conflicts.
Current Status of Iran's Nuclear Program
Nuclear Weapons Development
- No Active Weapons Program: As of 2026, there is no evidence that Iran is actively building nuclear weapons. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has confirmed that Iran has not enriched uranium to weapons-grade levels.
- Historical Context: Iran has a history of secret nuclear weapons research, but it officially ceased its covert program in 2003. Since then, its nuclear activities have been primarily focused on civilian energy production.
Recent Conflicts and Impact
- Damage to Facilities: Recent military actions, including U.S. and Israeli strikes, have significantly damaged key Iranian nuclear facilities. This has hindered Iran's ability to further develop its nuclear capabilities.
- Enrichment Levels: While Iran has enriched uranium to 60%, this level is not sufficient for weaponization without further enrichment to 90%, which has not occurred.
International Concerns
- Potential for Future Development: Although Iran has the technical knowledge and infrastructure to produce a nuclear weapon, current assessments indicate that it is not pursuing this path actively. The geopolitical landscape remains tense, with concerns that any shift in Iran's strategy could lead to a nuclear arms race in the region.
If I could read the article I'd probably thank this post.
What has your religious leader said about the Iran war, the Uyghurs and Darfur?Oh a very minor mention.You would think the Pope could have done more.

We shun politics in church. Opinions about them are left to each member. And unlike Catholics we don't think that the leaders of our Church have the ultimate authority on how to interpret the scriptures.

The hardest part about building a nuke is getting the fissile material material. The next hardest part is building a bomb small enough to fit your delivery system.Aren't magas worried about Iran and nukes? Calm yourselves, it's not in the picture.

Iran had built a delivery system a missile that could reach every European capital. Iran had 440KG of U235 or enough fissile U235 to build 11 nuclear bombs. They had underground nuclear facilities that we have never been inside of. Experts say 60% U235 can be refined to 95% U235 in less than two weeks. No country has ever refined Urainium to 60% U235 and then not built a bomb.
Since they already have the most difficult part done it is just a few steps left. Since they have underground nuclear facilities that we have never been in we do know exactly how far along they are on the final steps. But I for one don't want to wait till they drop a nuke on NYC or Dallas.
You think Y O U have the ultimate authority on how to interpret scriptures. You've done it with me and other posters, too. Furthermore, your comment about ultimate authority is bullshit. You've seen on this forum stories about how conservative and liberal Catholics can interpret scriptures quite differently. Example, conservatives think Biden and Pelosi should be banned for receiving Communion because they have pro-choice views, while liberals know that it's not that black and white.
It's weird that you think you know so much about Catholicism when all you do is regurgitate anti-Catholic viewpoints.

Personally I don't care if Biden or Pelosi receive communion or not. I do think Christ would be pro life however. Sounds like you are a cafeteria Catholic though. I have studied Catholicism a lot. I like using their own words to disprove their exegesis. Like today you and Anchovies obviously know it is wrong to call the pope Sweet Christ on Earth or God but the Catholics including popes have been doing it for centuries.
The Bible tells us what blasphemy is.
Jhn 10:33
The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
You're hopeless. Everything I wrote went right over your head. Furthermore, you're the one who claims Catholicism isn't scripturally correct because we have Sunday, not Saturday, as the Lord's day. You lose sight of the big message of Christianity/Catholicism and get bogged down in minutiae.

The majority of the population of Iran love Trump and are happy that we are attacking the pro Islamic regime.
So you wish.
Public Opinion
While there is notable support for Trump among certain segments of the Iranian population, it is essential to recognize that this does not equate to a majority love for him. The Iranian society is polarized, with a significant portion of the population opposing the current regime and seeking change, which influences their views on foreign leaders like Trump.

Indeed Knuckles I have asked several of them "What would you do to stop Iran from getting nuclear tipped ICBMs. And most just ignore the question. We elected Trump to protect us. He does not have the luxury of kicking the can down the road because we are running out of road. He bombed their nuclear sights once and told them if they restarted their program we would be back. They immediately restarted their nuclear program and now we are back.
"Trump picked the wrong Pope to bully." I'd love to read the article but it's behind a paywall.

Watch Tousi TV on You Tube if you really want to get a feel for what the anti Islamic population of Iran really think. I have seen videos of them cheering the bombings.So you wish.

Were you talking about this 2 months ago?
How objective is it? Obviously it confirms your beliefs.
@FastLane The man is totally unhinged. Try to make sense of this hateful, barely-comprehensible rant. Keeping trump in office is elder abuse and his family needs to take steps because it won't be long before the men with the butterfly nets come for him.

Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy. He talks about “fear” of the Trump Administration, but doesn’t mention the FEAR that the Catholic Church, and all other Christian Organizations, had during COVID when they were arresting priests, ministers, and everybody else, for holding Church Services, even when going outside, and being ten and even twenty feet apart. I like his brother Louis much better than I like him, because Louis is all MAGA. He gets it, and Leo doesn’t! I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon. I don’t want a Pope who thinks it’s terrible that America attacked Venezuela, a Country that was sending massive amounts of Drugs into the United States and, even worse, emptying their prisons, including murderers, drug dealers, and killers, into our Country. And I don’t want a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States because I’m doing exactly what I was elected, IN A LANDSLIDE, to do, setting Record Low Numbers in Crime, and creating the Greatest Stock Market in History. Leo should be thankful because, as everyone knows, he was a shocking surprise. He wasn’t on any list to be Pope, and was only put there by the Church because he was an American, and they thought that would be the best way to deal with President Donald J. Trump. If I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican. Unfortunately, Leo’s Weak on Crime, Weak on Nuclear Weapons, does not sit well with me, nor does the fact that he meets with Obama Sympathizers like David Axelrod, a LOSER from the Left, who is one of those who wanted churchgoers and clerics to be arrested. Leo should get his act together as Pope, use Common Sense, stop catering to the Radical Left, and focus on being a Great Pope, not a Politician. It’s hurting him very badly and, more importantly, it’s hurting the Catholic Church! President DONALD J. TRUMP

At least the Catholics CLAIM they had the power to change the 7th day Sabbath to the 1st day of the week. The vast majority of the rest of Christendom evolved out of the Catholic Church and took the First day of the week worship with them. BTW the Lord's Day is NEVER associated with the 1st day of the week. The only day that is specifically called the Lord's is the 7th day of the week.
Mat 12:8
For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
