I don't think that pacifism is popular, nor has it ever been more than a fringe belief. I certainly don't think that Pope Leo's statements somehow amount to a call for pacifism.
The Christian understanding of the Just War is I think a matter of close agreement in ecumenical discussions between Catholics and Anglicans. IIRC it has always been seen as a matter of very last resort.
It’s therefore not a surprise that Trump’s attack has at its root the assertion of the threat of imminent possession of nuclear weapons. Against like the lie about WMD in Iraq under Saddam Hussein.
