The Pope praised the Iran deal in his Easter message


In his Easter message, Pope Francis on Sunday praised the framework nuclear agreement with Iran while expressing deep worry about bloodshed in places such as Kenya, Iraq and Syria.

In his message on St. Peter’s Square, Francis noted the recent accord, reached in Lausanne, Switzerland, that aimed to ensure Iran doesn’t develop a nuclear weapon.

“In hope we entrust to the merciful Lord the framework recently agreed to in Lausanne, that it may be a definitive step toward a more secure and fraternal world,” he said in his message.

This has to be incredibly special for the Kerrys. They have personally sacrificed so much for JK to be working as tirelessly for a better world.

I suspect it will be mentioned in the Jesuit colleges and churches aligned with more liberal orders.

The important thing is that this incredibly good man is willing to say what he did.
