KATIKA NDEGE KUTOKA ROMA KWENDA MADRID JANA, MWANDISHI MMOJA ALIMUULIZA PAPA KUHUSU VITA VYA IRAN.
JIBU LAKE:
"Hakuna vita vya haki."
Papa Leo XIV alikuwa akisafiri kwenda Hispania kwa ziara ya siku sita. Waandishi wa habari waliokuwa ndani ya ndege ya kipapa walimuuliza kuhusu vita vya Iran.
Jibu lake lilikuwa:
"Ninaamini jambo hili tayari limeelezwa wazi. Hakuna vita vya haki hapo."
Haya ni maneno kutoka kwa kiongozi wa Wakatoliki bilioni 1.4 duniani.
Hapa ndipo muktadha unaofanya mazungumzo haya kuwa muhimu zaidi.
Mnamo Aprili, Makamu wa Rais wa Marekani, JD Vance, alitumia mafundisho ya Kikatoliki ya "nadharia ya vita vya haki" kuhalalisha kampeni ya kijeshi ya Marekani dhidi ya Iran.
Vance ni Mkatoliki.
Alitegemea utamaduni wa kiteolojia wenye historia ya zaidi ya miaka 1,000 akidai kwamba vita hivyo vinatimiza vigezo vya uhalali wa kimaadili.
Papa, ambaye ni mkuu wa Kanisa lililoanzisha nadharia hiyo ya vita vya haki, sasa ameonyesha hadharani kutokubaliana na matumizi ya hoja hiyo yaliyotolewa na Makamu wa Rais.
Jibu la Vance mwezi Aprili wakati Papa alipokosoa vita kwa mara ya kwanza lilikuwa kwamba Papa anapaswa "kuwa mwangalifu" anapozungumzia masuala ya teolojia.
Jibu la Donald Trump jana kwenye Truth Social lilikuwa kwamba Leo ni "dhaifu" kuhusu vita.
Makamu wa Rais wa Marekani alimwambia Papa awe mwangalifu kuhusu teolojia.
Hebu tuhesabu taasisi na viongozi ambao wamepinga vita hivi hadharani.
Papa: kiongozi wa Wakatoliki bilioni 1.4.
Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva wa Brazil: aliviita vita hivyo "wazimu" akiwa Ikulu ya White House.
European Union: ilitangaza "mshtuko wa mfumuko wa bei pamoja na kudorora kwa uchumi" na wakati huo huo ikatoa wito wa amani.
Washirika wa North Atlantic Treaty Organization — Germany, France, Italy na Spain — walipinga vita hivyo na wakakataa kujiunga navyo.
Asilimia 60 ya Wamarekani: walipinga vita hivyo kulingana na tafiti nne tofauti.
Baraza la Wawakilishi la Marekani: lilipiga kura 215–208 kutaka vita hivyo vikome.
Kila sauti kati ya hizi imesikika.
Vita hivyo sasa vimefikia siku ya 97.
Lakini swali muhimu zaidi ni hili:
Si kama vita hivyo ni vya haki au la.
Si kama Papa yuko sahihi.
Si kama Vance, Trump au wengi wa Wamarekani wana uchambuzi sahihi wa kiteolojia au kimkakati.
Swali ambalo Rich Dad aliuliza kila mara kuhusu taasisi au mfumo wowote ndilo linalokatiza mijadala yote:
"Nani hasa ana mamlaka ya kuvikomesha?"
Papa hawezi kuvikomesha.
Bunge limepiga kura kuvikomesha, lakini Trump ataweka kura ya turufu (veto).
Asilimia 60 ya Wamarekani wanapinga, lakini vita vinaendelea.
Sauti zenye ushawishi mkubwa zaidi wa kimaadili, kidemokrasia na kiteolojia duniani zimesema: "simamisheni."
Lakini bado havijasimama.
Ni watu wawili pekee walio na uwezo wa kufanya hivyo.
Na hadi sasa, hakuna hata mmoja wao aliyekata waya wa mwisho wa kuvisimamisha
ON A FLIGHT FROM ROME TO MADRID YESTERDAY, A JOURNALIST ASKED THE POPE ABOUT THE IRAN WAR.
HIS ANSWER:
"THERE IS NO JUST WAR."
Pope Leo XIV was flying to Spain for a six-day visit. Journalists on the papal plane asked about the war in Iran.
His response:
"I believe it has been already declared clearly. There is no just war there."
Words from the leader of 1.4 billion Catholics.
---
Here is the context that makes this exchange even more significant.
In April, US Vice President JD Vance used the Catholic doctrine of "just war theory" to justify America's military campaign against Iran.
Vance is Catholic.
He invoked a 1,000-year theological tradition to argue the war meets the criteria for moral legitimacy.
The Pope, the head of the Church that created just war theory just publicly disagreed with the Vice President's application of it.
Vance's response in April when the Pope first criticized the war: the Pope should "be careful" when talking about theology.
Trump's response yesterday on Truth Social: Leo is "weak" on war.
The American Vice President told the Pope to be careful about theology.
---
Count the institutions and leaders who have publicly opposed this war.
The Pope: leader of 1.4 billion Catholics.
Brazil's President Lula: called it "madness" at the White House.
The European Union: declared a "stagflationary shock" and formally sanctioned Iran while simultaneously calling for peace.
NATO allies Germany, France, Italy, and Spain — all opposed the war and refused to join.
60% of Americans: opposed the war per four separate polls.
The US House of Representatives: voted 215-208 to end the war.
Every one of these voices has been heard.
The war is in its 97th day.
---
Here is the most important question.
Not whether the war is just.
Not whether the Pope is right.
Not whether Vance or Trump or the majority of Americans have the correct theological or strategic analysis.
The question Rich Dad always asked about any institution or system is the one that cuts through all of it.
"Who actually has the power to end it?"
The actual power.
The Pope cannot end it.
Congress voted to end it, Trump will veto.
60% of Americans oppose it, the war continues.
The most powerful moral, democratic, and theological voices on earth have said stop.
And it has not stopped.
Only two people have that power.
And neither of them has pulled the plug yet.
