Top U.S. Cardinal Blasts Trump’s War

One of the Catholic church’s most senior leaders in the U.S. tore into Donald Trump’s war in Iran for not being “morally legitimate.”

“At this present moment, the U.S. decision to go to war against Iran fails to meet the just war threshold for a morally legitimate war,” Cardinal Robert W. McElroy, the archbishop of Washington DC, said in an interview with the Catholic Standard Monday.
