@sacramentourbanmedia916: Mike Johnson, a Christian and Republican from Louisiana who has previously said he seeks guidance from God in his decision-making, is drawing attention for promoting a message from evangelist Franklin Graham originally sent to Donald Trump on October 15, 2025. In that letter, Graham praised Trump for helping secure a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas and emphasized a core Christian belief about salvation. He wrote that accepting Jesus Christ is the only way to be saved and attain heaven. On Palm Sunday, Johnson resurfaced the message, noting that Trump had shared Graham’s letter, and reiterating the claim that salvation comes through Jesus alone. The post has drawn criticism from opponents of the Trump administration, some of whom are pointing to remarks by Pope Leo. The pontiff has condemned what he described as an “atrocious” conflict involving Iran and cautioned political leaders against invoking religion to justify war, arguing that God does not accept prayers offered in the pursuit of violence. The debate has also been fueled by comments from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who recently spoke at a Pentagon prayer service. In his remarks, Hegseth prayed for strength and unity for U.S. forces, while also calling for decisive and forceful action against enemies, including language about “overwhelming violence” toward those he described as undeserving of mercy. In contrast, Pope Leo has stressed that religious teachings reject violence carried out in God’s name, warning that prayers from those engaged in bloodshed are not heard.#fyp #viral
