Pentagon vs. Vatican: Faith in War

Is military policy being driven by faith? In this episode, we dive deep into the complex intersection of Christian nationalism within the U.S. military and the contrasting calls for global peace from the Vatican.

Host Dan Parsons analyzes the tension between modern military strategy and religious doctrine, specifically looking at **Pope Leo’s legacy** of peace versus the rising influence of nationalist ideologies in the Pentagon.

The Rise of Christian Nationalism: How religious identity is shaping current military policy.
The Vatican’s Stance: A look back at Pope Leo’s calls for peace and how they clash with modern-day hawks.
Faith vs. Force: Can religious values and national security ever truly be separated?
