So the U.S. Catholic cardinals are stepping up to call out the Trump administration for its morally bankrupt foreign policy, and honestly, it's about time. Cardinals Blase Cupich, Robert McElroy, and Joseph Tobin are highlighting some serious issues like military action in Venezuela and the threats to acquire Greenland, which not only risk escalating conflicts but also show how out of touch Trump is with basic human dignity. McElroy pointed out that "most of the United States and the world are adrift morally in terms of foreign policy," and that's a huge red flag. It's wild that we need religious leaders to remind our government that military force shouldn't be the go-to solution for every problem, and the fact that they had to say this twice in two months really shows how extreme things have gotten under Trump. The bishops previously condemned the administration's mass deportations, and now these cardinals are echoing that sentiment, saying we need a foreign policy that respects human life and dignity. This isn't just about politics; it's about the values we claim to uphold as a nation. If our leaders can't even grasp the importance of a moral compass in international dealings, then we are in deep trouble. It’s time for accountability and a return to principles that prioritize peace and human rights over narrow economic interests. https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/us-catholic-cardinals-urge-trump-140230306.html

US Catholic cardinals urge Trump administration to embrace a moral compass in foreign policy
Three U.S. Catholic cardinals urged the Trump administration on Monday to use a moral compass in pursuing its foreign policy, saying U.S. military action in Venezuela, threats of acquiring Greenland and cuts in foreign aid risk bringing vast suffering instead of promoting peace. In a joint statement, Cardinals Blase Cupich of Chicago, Robert McElroy of Washington and Joseph Tobin of Newark, N.J., warned that without a moral vision, the current debate over Washington's foreign policy was mired in “polarization, partisanship, and narrow economic and social interests.”
