Franklin Graham Cites King David in Response to Papal War Rebuke

Evangelist and Samaritan's Purse CEO Franklin Graham cited the Old Testament example of King David to push back against Pope Leo XIV's claim that God rejects the prayers of those who fight. Graham argues that God does take sides in conflicts and that believers have a duty to defend their nations and faith. This response highlights the ongoing theological tension between secular pacifism and the Christian concept of just war and national defense.
