Pope Leo is constantly calling for peace and has also called on those causing wars to check their own consciences. So too are the archbishops in Washington and Chicago, Cardinal Robert McElroy and Cardinal Blase Cupitch.
Cupich has strongly condemned the portrayal of the war in Iran as ‘entertainment' or a 'video game' by US officials, describing it as a 'profound moral failure' and a 'moral crisis'
.In contrast Bishop Robert Baron is talking about what grounds are required for a just war. He does not condemn the US administration and might even hint that what they are doing is just. His words appear on right wing YouTube channels.
Is Pope Leo playing an influential role with the US episcopacy? Is it possible he is telling those bishops who are supporters of Trump to stay mum?
It’s interesting that the new archbishop of New York, Ronald Hicks was mentored by Cardinal Cupich.
