In this Harbinger’s Daily article, Erick Stakelbeck sharply criticizes Pope Leo for awarding a high Vatican diplomatic honor to Iran’s ambassador to the Holy See.
- Pope Leo reportedly awarded the Grand Cross of the Pontifical Order of Pius IX to Mohammad Hossein Mokhtari, Iran’s ambassador to the Holy See.
- Stakelbeck argues the move shows a stunning lack of moral clarity because Mokhtari represents the Iranian regime, which he describes as violently anti-Christian, anti-Israel, and oppressive toward its own people.
- The article says the award was confirmed by a diploma dated May 8 and signed by Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican’s Secretary of State.
- Defenders of the Vatican’s decision reportedly frame the honor as standard diplomatic protocol for ambassadors accredited to the Holy See after years of service.
- Stakelbeck rejects that explanation, arguing that diplomatic protocol should not override the moral implications of honoring a representative of Iran’s Islamist regime.
- The article says Iranian state media portrayed the award as recognition of Mokhtari’s diplomatic work and opposition to “warmongering.”
- Stakelbeck warns that the award sends a damaging message to Iranian citizens, persecuted Iranian Christians, Israel, and the broader Judeo-Christian world.
- The piece also criticizes Pope Leo’s public opposition to U.S. and Israeli military actions against Iran, portraying his position as extreme pacifism rather than biblical moral leadership.
- Stakelbeck concludes that confronting Iran’s regime is morally justified and that Christians should not look to Pope Leo for guidance on this issue.
