"Attacks on civilian infrastructure (are) against international law ... it is also a sign of the hatred, the division, the destruction that the human being is capable of."
"Cupich called it 'sickening' to treat 'a real war with real death and real suffering like it's a video game.'"
"McElroy has questioned the war's legitimacy under Catholic teaching, warning it does not meet 'just war' standards."
Pope Leo sharply criticized President Trump's threats regarding Iran, labeling them as unacceptable and contrary to just war principles. He condemned attacks on civilian infrastructure as violations of international law. U.S. cardinals, including Cupich and McElroy, echoed these sentiments, expressing moral concerns about the war's legitimacy and the treatment of conflict as trivial. They also criticized Trump's immigration policies for deepening national divisions. The White House, however, defended its stance, asserting cooperation with the Vatican and rejecting claims of a conflict.
