Top Catholic Clerics Denounce U.S. Foreign Policy

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/us/catholics-trump-archbishops.html

The three highest-ranking Roman Catholic clerics who lead archdioceses in the United States said in a strongly worded statement on Monday that America’s “moral role in confronting evil around the world” is in question for the first time in decades. Their critique of the Trump administration’s principles — while not mentioning President Trump by name — escalates the American Catholic Church’s denunciations of the country’s top leaders.

In 2026, the country has entered “the most profound and searing debate about the moral foundation for America’s actions in the world since the end of the Cold War,” read the unusual statement issued by Cardinal Blase Cupich, archbishop of Chicago; Cardinal Robert McElroy, archbishop of Washington; and Cardinal Joseph Tobin, archbishop of Newark.

Citing recent events in Venezuela, Ukraine and Greenland as having raised fundamental questions about the use of military force, the cardinals call for a “genuinely moral foreign policy” in which “military action must be seen only as a last resort in extreme situations, not a normal instrument of national policy.”

Unless Evangelicals speak out, it probably won't make any difference.

Will JD realize that Church hierarchy and teachings are more than just cosmetic trappings for trad men who liked its patriarchal vibe? Or will JD somehow find a way to claim that the authorities of the Catholic Church are a woke schism that only he (as a Fake Catholic) has a right to proclaim? Or maybe he will regret the belated realization that he joined a church with a 2-millennia history and structure that isn’t just there for his trad cosplay.

Do churches not pay sales tax on anything they buy?

Did the Catholic Church opine on the Epstein file?

Good for them. It's about time. Now let's see other "faith groups" stand up for decency.

Episcopal Bishops have also spoken out.
