US Catholic Cardinals Question Morality of Foreign Policy

US Catholic Cardinals Question Morality of Foreign Policy

Three important Catholic leaders in the U.S. made a big statement about how America acts in the world.

They said the country's actions might not be as good and fair as they should be.

They talked about recent events in Venezuela, Ukraine, and Greenland, and said that using the military should only be done in very extreme situations, not as a normal way to solve problems.

They also said that the U.S. needs to have a foreign policy that is truly moral and not just for its own narrow interests.

They didn't directly blame President Trump, but they did mention that the first U.S. pope, Pope Leo, has criticized some of his policies, especially on immigration.

The White House didn't immediately respond to their statement.
