Stephen Colbert Delights in Trump’s ‘Ongoing Papal Feud’
The New York Times • • general
Key Points:
- Stephen Colbert referenced the Catholic doctrine of "just war," emphasizing that war must be in self-defense and a last resort after peace efforts fail, contrasting this with former President Trump's approach to war.
- Colbert criticized Trump for seemingly engaging in war without a "just cause," implying a lack of moral justification according to the doctrine.
- The host also highlighted Pope Francis's recent comments in Cameroon, where the pope condemned global tyranny, describing the world as being "ravaged by a handful of tyrants."
- Colbert humorously noted the irony of the pope's remark by pointing out a visible bruise on Trump's hand, adding a comedic twist to the critique.
