Pope Warns "Delusion of Omnipotence" Fuels Iran War

Pope Leo has condemned the "delusion of omnipotence" he says is fueling the conflict in Iran. He made the statement during a peace vigil on Saturday. The vigil was held at St. Peter's Basilica. The Pope did not name specific nations or leaders. However, he warned against the dangerous belief that total power is possible. He urged all sides to choose dialogue over violence. The call for peace comes as the war in Iran continues with no clear end in sight. The term "delusion of omnipotence" means an unrealistic belief in having unlimited power. The Pope argued this false idea drives destructive conflicts.
