The pope does not have the authority to declare war in the traditional sense, as that power lies with sovereign states. However, the pope can influence moral and ethical considerations regarding war and peace through teachings and statements. Historically, popes have called for peace and offered guidance on just war theory, advocating for diplomacy and reconciliation over conflict. Ultimately, any declaration of war must come from national governments, not the Vatican.
