Pope Leo XIV used his Palm Sunday 2026 address to deliver a stunning message to world leaders waging war. Speaking from St. Peter's Square, the first American pope quoted Isaiah 1:15: "Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen — your hands are full of blood." He didn't name anyone. He didn't have to. In this episode, we break down the significance of the Pope's words, the timing (one day after 8 million Americans marched in the largest protest in U.S. history), and what it means that Yemen officially entered the Iran war the same weekend.
