Sarah Mullally urges Anglicans to join Leo’s ‘courageous’ call and says human cost of war is incalculable
The archbishop of Canterbury has said she is standing in solidarity with Pope Leo XIV’s calls for peace amid his public feud with Donald Trump.
Days after the US president objected to comments from the head of the Catholic church suggesting a “delusion of omnipotence” was fuelling the US-Israeli war in Iran, Sarah Mullally urged Anglicans to join Leo’s “courageous” call.
Her statement came as the pontiff warned on Thursday that the world was being “ravaged by a handful of tyrants”.
Mullally said: “I stand with my brother in Christ, his holiness Pope Leo XIV, in his courageous call for a kingdom of peace. As innocent people are killed and displaced, families torn apart and futures destroyed, the human cost of war is incalculable.”
