Is the Pope being too "Political" when he's opposing wars?

The piece argues that the current administration’s criticism of Pope Leo for being “political” misunderstands the nature of the Gospel itself. Starting with the Magnificat — Mary’s song about God toppling the powerful and lifting the lowly — the author contends that Christianity is inherently political in the sense that it makes demands about how societies treat their most vulnerable members. While God may be indifferent to the form of government, the prophets consistently hold societies accountable for their treatment of the poor, refugees, and the powerless. The Pope’s opposition to war flows directly from that scriptural mandate, and only appears to be a political attack to those who benefit from the status quo.
