Mike Johnson Fires Back at Pope Leo: “Wade Into Politics, Expect a Political Response”

Mike Johnson Fires Back at Pope Leo: “Wade Into Politics, Expect a Political Response” House Speaker Mike Johnson is making headlines after firing back at Pope Leo and warning that religious leaders who step into political debates should expect a political response. Johnson says America defends both free speech and freedom of religion, and that a pope or any religious leader has every right to speak openly. But he argues that once those comments cross into politics, they are no longer beyond challenge. Johnson says he was caught off guard by remarks attributed to Pope Leo about war and prayer, and then invoked the Christian idea of “just war doctrine” to defend military action he says reduced the threat posed by a major sponsor of terrorism. #MikeJohnson #PopeLeo #USPolitics #PoliticsAndReligion #BreakingNews #Congress #FaithAndPolitics #ReligiousDebate #FreeSpeech #PoliticalDebate #WarAndPeace
