On Palm Sunday, the Pope said, "He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war,"

Why did the Pope think that's true? If waging war is a sin, does our God not listen to sinners?

I think the Pope is wrong about this, whether deliberately or not I cannot say, since there are many instances in the Bible where he very much did listen to those waging war, even commanding war in some instances, and the history of the Catholic church is filled with the waging of war on all sorts of people(s) it disagreed with.

If waging war is a sin in and of itself much of the Old Testament just became mighty inconvenient.
