Pope Leo is at the forefront of a resurgence in progressive Christianity, challenging the prevailing evangelical narrative in the United States. This revival comes amid a global theological debate sparked by political events, particularly America’s military actions and their moral implications. Historically, Christianity has served as a liberating force, yet the rise of evangelicalism has overshadowed its more progressive roots. Pope Leo's stance against the use of religion to justify war and oppression resonates with many, as he publicly criticized President Donald Trump for his rhetoric surrounding military actions and immigration policies. The pope's message emphasizes that God does not support those who wage war, aligning with a long-standing tradition of just war theory. This theological discourse is not only revitalizing progressive Christian thought but also encouraging various denominations, including Methodists and Lutherans, to advocate for social justice and stand against injustices faced by marginalized communities. As these religious leaders unite, they aim to reclaim Christianity's legacy as a force for good in society, countering the narrative that has dominated in recent years.
