CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY APRIL 8, 2026
THREE LEADERS – ONE IN POLITICS, ONE ON TELEVISION, AND ONE WHO HEADS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HAVE RECENTLY SAID THINGS ABOUT GOD THAT DESERVE EXAMINATION.
FIRST, PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID GOD SUPPORTS THE U.S. WAR AGAINST IRAN. HOW DOES HE KNOW? JESUS SAID THERE WILL BE WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS UNTIL HE RETURNS. THAT’S NOT JUSTIFICATION, BUT A COMMENT ON MAN’S FALLEN CONDITION.
SECOND, SAVANNA GUTHRIE RETURNED TO CO-HOST THE TODAY SHOW. BEFORE SHE DID, SHE SAID SHE WAS ‘DISAPPOINTED IN GOD,” APPARENTLY BECAUSE HE DIDN’T ANSWER HER PRAYER FOR THE SAFE RETURN OF HER KIDNAPPED MOTHER. IT SOMETIMES MAY SOUND HARSH BUT GOD DOES NOT EXIST TO DO OUR BIDDING. IF GUTHRIE’S 84-YEAR-OLD MOTHER IS DEAD AND A CHRISTIAN SHE IS WITH THE LORD.
THIRD, POPE LEO IV CRITICIZED AMERICA ON PALM SUNDAY AND EASTER. THE POPE SUPPORTS PACIFISM. BUT THAT ONLY WORKS IF TWO SIDES IN A CONFLICT AGREE. THE TWISTED ISLAMIC FANATICS IN IRAN BELIEVE THEY ARE CALLED UPON BY ALLAH TO MAKE WAR AGAINST INFIDELS LIKE ISRAEL AND AMERICA. PACIFISM AMONG THE GOOD GUYS MEANS WAR AGAINST US BY THE BAD GUYS.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN SAID “MY CONCERN IS NOT WHETHER GOD IS ON OUR SIDE; MY GREATEST CONCERN IS TO BE ON GOD’S SIDE, FOR GOD IS ALWAYS RIGHT.” AMEN! I’M CAL THOMAS.
