Asked about criticism of the war by Pope Leo XIV and American Catholic bishops, Hegseth responds: "The Pope’s going to do his thing, that’s fine. We know what our mission is. We know what authority we have. We’re very clear about that. "We follow the orders of the president. We’ve got lawyers all over the place looking at what we’re doing and why we’re doing it, and giving us every authority necessary under the Constitution and under our laws to execute it.
